Hi all,

Just got in from some imaging, the seeing was variable again but there were some moments of 7-8/10 seeing especially for this image. I was quite surprised at the detail I got!
I gotta run and make some supper before my Wife gets pissed, boy shes spoiled!! Still she lets me have the toys too wink

Hi Mike,

Wow!! and I said that out loud when I first saw this image, quick get your 30" out grin , huge image scale and the details are still great, that may be the best Gassendi I have seen, certainly better than any Gassendi I have taken.

Thanks,

Wes Higgins
