I got up at 3:00 AM and I took a number of images in spite of relatively bad atmospheric stability and intermittent clouds. My first attempt with this scope....

C14 on Losmandy G11
@F22 1/50 second, approximately 245 of 850 images used
Toucam

Hoping to get steadier skies next week at Chiefland.

Clear skies,

Jim Pickering
