Simply mind boggling. It is getting hard to come up with as many superlatives as you have super images. This one is just.....

Roland -

Very handsome images - I bet the owner is pleased with the test. It's always impressive to see the trazezium resolved to 6 stars, but like most multiples, it is hard to capture the beauty seen to the naked eye. E and F are beautiful pinpoints in the 10" mak from my light polluted backyard - even on nights of average seeing. Keeps it interesting to pop in an eyepiece every once in a while. smile

I'm looking forward to mounting my new 1200 on the monolith. Did you like the pier in your tests?

This oblique view gives an unreal sense of being there.

Amazing!

Very nicely done in these conditions. The processing for color and naturalness is excellent with the softness a result of the seeing.

great job,

Hi Wes-

A fascinating image. Hesiodus A sure looks like a manmade structure to me smile

Thanks for all the fine images you've posted to this forum during the year!

Excellent image, Jim. Hope you found your barlow!

Have you considered the Baader FFC? Quite pricey, but it covers a wide range of amplification using extension tubes.
