Hi all,


Got in some imaging 2 nights ago despite windy conditions. Now I know how spoiled I was having the walls of my observatory! Used the 4X's powermate for an image scale of 0.11"/pixel


more to come

Mike

Hi Mike,

Outstanding! image, I do not have an observatory either and when the wind is over 5mph it starts to give me problems, did you use any filters when you took this image.

Thanks,

Wes Higgins
