Not much processing involved here, but I wanted to see what I had. I got a few minutes shy of an hour total last night (took 3+ hours) with not-too-good seeing, and more wind than I needed. I am just having the misfortune of posting right after Tyler's great combo shot of the same thing. Maybe with some processing (and practice doing that) I will get something worth printing.

Comments and suggestions welcome. Thanks for looking.

Hi Charles. Nice image there. What focal length are you shooting? What scope and camera? It looks like it is a pretty high power setup, which certainly makes things a lot tougher. I like to stick to the wide field stuff because it helps to hide my mistakes! smile

Keep up the good work.
Cheers,
Tyler
