11" SCT @ f/25. sbig st-2000 camera binned 2x2. I probably should have shot at full res, but I wanted to keep the nice and short 0.02 second exposures due to the mucky seeing I had. Best 19 out of 100. maybe an IR block would have helped due to the barlow? I wish I had YG's skies...

Nice Pic Andy! sometimes bigger does not mean necessarily better...

Nice contrast and lots of detail on this one.


Thanks for sharing!

Very nice, smooth result. Just the way I like it. A 20% batting average on stackable frames is what I call normal viewing conditions here in Indiana. If my knowledge is correct, an IR-blocking filter doesn't help on short exposures used in Lunar and brighter planetary imaging. Hopefully, somebody with greater experience will chip-in on this issue.

Yes, it would be nice if we could get stable skies like what Yu Gu and Florida receive.
