Hi guys,
this is my first attemp to image M1. Technical details:
Celestron C9.25 @ f/6.3;
Losmandy G11 with upgraded worms and the third bearing in AR/DEC shafts;
SBIG St7E NABG ccd camera @ -18°C.
The exposure was of 10 minutes selfguided at a rate of one correction per second with SBIG relay box; the seeing condition was not good, some high veil in the sky; moon was up during the exposure.

Imaging Team: Stefano Vezzosi, Alessandra Zucchelli, Angelo Mannucci, Giuseppe Iacopini and Manola Neri from Florence (Italy)

Any comment would be very appreciated!
Best Regard and Have a merry Xmas - S.Vezzosi

Great image Stefano! Considering the usual seeing conditions around here, the result is even more appreciable.
Will you give us color in the near future?
I apologize with the rest of the participants, but let me add a bit in Italian: this is the first Italian imaging team I meet on these pages.

Bellissima Stefano! Certo che lavorando con un imaging team ci si aspettano grandi risultati! le condizioni di visibiltà in generale qui a Rimini sono credo perfino peggiori di quelle che si possono avere nell'entroterra. Avete fatto la foto proprio da Firenze città?

Ciao
