I'd like to introduce the Gao-Guenie Family. This group consists of a large end cut on the left at about 149 gr and a small slice next to it. Then my favorities, again three Impact Melt Breccia. There is a wonderful strongly oriented complete 32 gr individual in front on the right. This is a great fall that occurred on March 5, 1960 near Burkino Faso, Africa

And my last picture for the day. This is my Micro-piece of the famous Claxton Fall (yes, a hammer) that crushed a mailbox on December 10, 1984 in Claxton, Georgia, USA. Total know weight of this fall is 1,455 grams, my piece is a whopping 1/4 gram.

I always like the star fields and dust lanes in this region, but I cropped the image a bit to show more of the nebula. Which do you prefer?

M33; first passPosted By Michael Sandy |
Nice Tom, this will be a fun shot to watch develop. Which scope and camera were you using?
I've been working on an M33 myself, I should have something (first pass) to show this weekend.
