Amazing what you get out of that thing Great image...

Wow, that's just great!

Greg.

Well done, Jim. As someone noted, you certainly get the most out of your equipment.
My only quibble is not with your image which is fine, but with the presentation. I think it would present itself better if it were rotated 90 degrees clockwise.

I've never been to San Diego, but I can't imagine that it isn't light polluted. What an amazing long exposure without such pollution ruining it. How is that possible? Is the smaller scope actually an advantage for that?

Nice one Jim! I have been out of town for a couple of days and I am just catching up on things.
Cheers,

Awesome shots Jim!
Love the detail around the galaxy core & spiral arms...


Thanks!
