Wow, I was thinking it was just me beset with bad weather (even here in San Diego of all places). Its been two months now. I've taken to setting the scope / camera up in the house just to practice.

Jim,
Image looks realy nice. I know what you mean about the 35 mm format lenses. I have been nominally successful with my Artemis camera and Atik filterwheel - total backfocus is right about the 44 mm backfocus need for my Sigma 150 mm lens. I had to home make the lens adapter to get there though. And it doesn't focus on some of my other lenses. So as I say, nominally successful (for a lot of effort).

So the Pentax 67 may be something for me to look at.

Way cool shot Greg. I need to move south - I'll have a bunch of new objects to go after.

First image with my Ovision modded G11

Jeff,
Nice to see you got such good results on the ovision mod. Its nice to see that the old G11 might be able to be spruced up a bit.

Tyler,
Very nice - I really like the reprocessed version over the original. I am curious what you did in the second processing - particularly with the Blue channel. Did you just gain it up a bit or was there something fundamentally different?
