Had good seeing last night allowed for testing a 305 Mak-Cass on various objects. Normally I would have shot with my STL11K, but I thought I would pull out my ST10XE camera for some high resolution shots, and since people are looking to see how well it works.
This image is 6 x 10 minute Luminance, 305mm F12.5 Mak-Cass, under high moonlight illumination, fairly good seeing. Image is cropped square and reduced to 70% size.

Hi Roland. I think I enjoyed this image more than anything I have seen posted here in a long time. The detail in NGC7331 is perhaps the best I have seen, and the small galaxies are simply stunning. Thanks for sharing it.
Cheers,
Tyler

Wonderful shot, Rolando! The Deer Lick group is one of my favorites. Like Ivan, I especially like NGC 7337.
