Also from my second outing with the LX-200. I drift aligned and used the f/10 prime focus. I used my Rebel G to focus.

I am really pleased with this one. Yes, I see the collimation error and the slight magenta haze from my missing dark frame on the right side, but I am proud of this one. I am using it as my wallpaper on my computer. Besides, It's not about out-doing Ron, it is about enjoying your own art. Like the saying goes: It isn't having what you want, but wanting what you have that makes you happy.

Are you kidding? These are the best pictures I have seen with a digital camera. And when did Ron become Simon from American Idol? smile I think he posts so frequently here to help people, nothing more...
