have done some more playing around with the st-2000, this time with a 55mm camera lens at f/2 and an Astronomik H-alpha filter. North America/Pelican region. 2x5min median combined. Modified levels and curves, slight unsharp mask followed by slight gaussian blur. Also cropped a wee bit (I had a dark spot in the corner, I forgot to remove the top counterweight from the 11" it was piggybacked on) and image size reduced a tad to save herb's space. In the future, I'll combine more exposures. Love your book so far Ron.

Same goes for this one. Pretty cool to see such large objects in context.

I cropped out the center portion at full scale to show the full resolution capability of the camera. Not bad resolution for a little over 1" aperture, IMHO.
