Jim, nice image. It's interesting to compare this with mine, where I see you certainly have higher reolution and clarity on the surface features.

It was real unsteady air over Charlotte, probably down there in SC too!

Hi Jim,

Very nice, especially for poor seeing.

Clear skies,

Hello Jim,


Nice shot given the poor seeing. Do you find the ATIK to be superior to a ToUcam? I have a color ATIK myself and I have always wondered if the fan might be introducing too much vibration inside the camera for planetary work. I've only used it a few times, so I don't have a lot of experience with it.
