This is a combined exposure image from exposures with my C8 and my Megrez II. I still struggle with distortion with my Meade 0.33x FR on the C8, so edge star correction and color come from the Megrez. I have attached a mid size image, but a full size image and exposure / processing details are at:

Scopes were C8 at f/3.1 and Megrez at f/6.25, Camera was Artemis285

Hi Jim,
Nice image. I'm real close to getting a C8 and was wondering if mirror flop is a problem with these scopes.

Very nice image Jim! Excellent processing - very natural looking.

Best,

Jose

Beautiful image, Jim. The processing must have taken longer than the acquisition! But it was worth it.

Clear skies,
