Hi,

The sky finally cleared here in Oklahoma
which means more lost sleep :>)
This time I bumped my focal ratio from F/30 to F/35
by using a longer extension with my Televue
5x Powermate , I would like to go F/65 as some
have done but I don't think my Alt/Az tracking
mount will track well enough for that.

762 frames from 1600, Toucam Pro ,Sehuler IR Blocker

*10:39 UT
*CM 213.77
*Dia 18.50"
*Alt 40 Degrees

Thanks,

Wes Higgins

Excellent work, Wes!

It looks like your focus and processing are right on target.

What size telescope were you using?

That is a great image Wes.

I hope to get my Toucam shortly, if I get images half as good as this I will be pleased.
