Hi all,

Nothing much. Just a 5 minute single monochrome image for first light with my new SBIG 2000XM. Took this at 5:55am this morning. I spent the previous 3 hours figuring out stuff like focusing (still not right) and guiding.

Best,

Excellent image Jose.

I'm sure you'll have a lot of fun with that camera.

Wow - I hope to follow your example. Just received my 2000XM yesterday and have loaded the software and read the manual. I'm anxious, but nervous, about my first session under the stars.
Clear skies,
