hi folks,

I have had the opportunuity to process the data coming from my observatory-mate (he owns the 16" RCOS on a Paramount in an own obs.) Martin.
he has captured NGCV 2403 for 5 hours with the S-BIG 2000 XMC.
I have gotten his stacked FITS file and this is waht I have obtained after color conversion in AstroArt4 and postprocessing is PS CS2

the RCOS scopes seem to be terrific optics!!

hope You like it and - comments appreciated as always.
thanx!
dietmar

It must be nice to use a 16" RCOS and an ME without having to buy them!
The galaxy looks pretty good, Dietmar.
