Greg,
Cool image - very impressive.

I am watching with close interest results from the KAF8300. I am considering a camera with either the KAF-8300 or the KAI-4022. I like the lack of a shutter on the KAI - since it allows for a filter wheel with Canon lenses. With the KAF and mechanical shutter there is too much back focus to put a filter wheel in the image train.

Your result with the KAF is sure a lot of positive reinforcement for a choice that gives up a filter wheel on these lenses.

That's a great image Greg smile

Perfectly processed,I like the fine details you picked up in the dusty areas and the color looks excellent.

This is an excellent image Greg! I am impressed with the capabilities of the ML8300. It looks like a sweet camera. It seems like a nice pairing with the TEC.
Cheers,
Tyler

Wow Greg, this is nice but I could spend all day on your image site :-) You have taken some excellent images! What scopes do you use other than the TEC?
Thanks for posting!
