I slept for about 1 1/2 hours Tuesday afternoon after staying up all night Monday night. Then got up at 3:00 AM Tuesday night/Wednesday morning> Seeing was good once again and I was able to get some nice images, color and B&W. First a color image:

TMB 10" F/9
2X Barlow inserted into 3X Barlow
Atik Color camera, Registax
Seeing 8/10

Unreal...superb image! I am sure the views through the 10" refractor are jaw dropping.

Hi Jim -

These are beautifully done! I would love to get to look through that 10" someday. Is there a picture of it somewhere?

Hi Jim,

Maybe you should take all of your images with little or no sleep because they seem to turn out fantastic. grin

Clear skies,
