Hi all,

I have been working with this data for over a week and finally got my break through today. The image quality is average (January seeing here isn't really great), but overall I'm ok with the results. I'm still getting used to the TOA-130/ST10XME combo. This is the result of over 4hrs of data.

Thanks!!
Paul Maxson
