Beautiful!! Quality equipment brings quality images...


May I ask, how long were the subs?

I did a bit of smoothing with a median filter, which allowed bringing up more of the fainter detail. The image loses some of the small scale detail, but looks better, I think. Which one is better?

Marj says it looks more like a dog than an elephant trunk. To me it looks more like a Reindeer. No, actually the more I look at it, the more it looks like a Moose.

I don't like it. I don't like it at all.

Now, if the scope were mine, I'd love it!

Spectacular image, Roland! I would expect a ton of terrific images (both DSO and planetary) with this scope! It looks like a perfect all-rounder; the one hi-res scope for visual, solar system and DSO imaging.

Oh, great. I just ruined my keyboard. Too much drool ......
