Beautiful image Larry. I've been looking around for an H alpha filter and the ones that I find are for viewing the sun. Is this what you have or is there a different kind for nebula?

Unfortuneatley you can't stop every assault, but the more people or students involved the less the observatory chance for being a target. Of coarse an 8 foot fence topped with razor wire and a couple of Dobbermans wouldn't hurt smile

One more thuoght Tim. Sometimes, you just have to take a chance. I mean, Why build a school when you know some students will fail? Or why build a bank when there's a chance it will be robbed? I think the good things that will come out of this will always out weigh the what ifs.

A little bitty Jupiter

Posted By Brian Maynard

I'm glad to see my image of jupiter is close to the image you have. Sure, its not like some of these amazing images we see on this site of Jupiter. I'm just glad to see my image close to the image of such a respected imager as yourself.
