I had three good nights in a row last week, and got images of six subjects, M101, NGC 4565, M13, M51, M64, and M82. This represents just over 4.5 hrs of manually guided exposures, all through a C11 @ f/6.3 with a modified Nikon D50, and all at the same scale. Thanks for looking!

Steve

Nice looking images, Steve.
It's nice seeing them all together at the same scale.
I didn't realize they were that close together. wink

Nicely done Steve.

Did your modification to the D50 include the space reduction feature? grin
