Hi all,

No students and a clear sky! 8O Been a while since that was the case!! So I dicided to have some fun at the observatory! grin Here is a shot of M66.

16" f/10 schmidt-cassegrain with f/6.3 focal reducer. SBIG ST-9E

20 x 3 minutes clear, 10 x 3 minutes red and green. 7 x 3 minutes blue. Unfortunately the low altitude claimed the guide star before I could get the rest of the blue images.

Cheers

Maurice

Nice image....

M66 was one of the last things I imaged ... more than 60 days ago!!!!!
I need a break in the clouds. This year has been the worst year for imaging I can remember in a looooong time.
