Hi all,

I'd have to say that seeing was pretty decent for my location for August for this image.

Paul, I'm curious about your image...why did you use only the red and blue channels? Also, what is the cause of the very bright line at the sunward limb?
(I'm not criticizing, just asking....these are beautiful images).

Thanks,

Tim Iafolla

Lovely pic Paul. I'm sure you're having a hell of a time with your new toy grin

Forgive my curiosity, but why not the LU075 on a good night and with THAT scope?

However, when the result is good...... wink

Ciao Paul
