Mars January 11, 2008

Hi all,

It feels like forever since I posted last and finally I have images to post. The Mewlon is at TNR getting a 3 year tuneup so these images were shot with the TOA-130. Not too bad for a 5" scope. Besides it is allowing me to practice LRGB imaging with my new SKYnyx 2-0M camera (it's the LRGB image in the middle). I am hoping to see the Mewlon back in a couple of weeks.

Paul,

I was kinda hoping that you shot this with your 5" so we can see what a 5" APO can do. Nice job! BTW, what 3 year tuneup? Makes me wonder if my 210 needs to pay TNR a visit, too.
