Hi All,

Its been a while since i've posted anything here, as weather has been tough, or the images arent up to snuff. Warren was the early bird getting the worm here with his very nice image of the Cresent.

Here is the shooting data:

Scope: Stellarvue SV-102 APO @ f/7.8 (native focal ratio)
Camera: Starlight Xpress HX-916 1.3MP monochrome CCD
Exposures: 6x1200sec Ha bin 1x1
Mount: Losmandy G11
Guiding: ST-4 w/SV-80/9d Guidescope
Filters: Astronomik 14nm Ha

The image was calibrated with darks, bias and flat frames in Images
Plus 2.1. Then registered and sum combined in Registar 1.0. DDP and
log stretched in Images Plus.

That is a beauty... nice tiny stars and good detail in the filaments. Thanks John!

BTW - I've missed your shots!
