Hi Mike,

From time to time I have wondered why you had not posted any images for such a long time, it's great to see another image from you
(excellent! image), I like the extra wide field of view the Infinity 2-2 has.

Thanks,

Hi Stefan,

That is an SWOL (Say Wow Out Loud) image for sure, the full size version has an amazing amount of detail, thanks for sharing.

Hi Richard,

Superb image, the seeing just after sunset can be good here at times too, the problem is I can not get my 18" primary cooled quick enough to take advantage of the seeing then sad

Thanks,

Hi Stefan,

Excellent image, 1000 frames used to be the magic number of frames for me too when I was using the DMK camera.

Clear and steady skies,
