Hi all 8)

Ok so It's not the greatest shot in the world! but for me It's a first getting these two on the chip.
Again clouds came in so I didn't get the exposure time on this that I wanted to and I didn't get the shorter subs to paste into the core...well there's always next time.
This was shot with a SXV-H9C through a ZS 66ED,guided on a G11 mount.
Exposures were 4min x 7 and AA3 used to capture align & combine with CS2 for post processing.

Hi Louie,

What's great about imaging is that you can add to last year's data with a fresh set of data. And given how early in the season you caught this, you'll have lots of chances to shoot it again for the short subs for the core. Just remember how it was oriented this first time.

Louie, that's a GREAT shot my friend! 8)
I resized it a lil' and applied some Unsharp Mask since focus seems a little soft... hope you won't mind... wink

Lovely, postcard perfect! 8)

Looks good Louie,gotta hate it when the clouds roll in.
I'll be able to give this a go for the first time pretty soon.
