I had a few minutes before a weather front came in last night so I thought I'd get some H-a data on this.

AP 155EDF f/7

That actually looks like a weather front itself coming in! A very dramatic shot.

Show-off! wink

Man, that's nice and crisp! I tried this object myself two weekends ago, and I can say I got my first ever shots of it (framing shots only sad ). That session was also my first attempt at using CCD Autopilot. I never got it to work that night, and an e-mail to the author later revealed that I didn't have all the software I needed to use CCDAP3 with Maxim (oops!). I hope to try CCDAP3 again in the (hopefully near) future (before the evaluation period ends!) with CCDSoft.
