Took this last night with my high dollar Sbig ST-237A mounted on my cheap AP-130 F/6. Man I gotta get a bigger camera! Ten 2 minute luminance shots. Autoguided with an ST-4 mounted on a TV-85 that was piggyback on the AP. All was ridding on an old Celestron flavor G11/Gemini. Processed in Images Plus.

Great shot Ralph!
You are surely getting the most out of that camera! (not to mention those "cheap" scopes too! LOL!)

Thanks for sharing! wink

Nice job Ralph. I was shooting the same object as a first light image with a newly aquired HX916 camera at the same time as you. We definately got different results. You images scale and focus are much better.
