Very nice!

Have you ever used a full aperture white light filter on your SCT? Looks like you might be in a location where good conditions would support the larger aperture.

Amazing images from such a frigid night. Even the air turbulence must have been to cold to move. Extreme astronomy at its best!

Great work, Ivan. First I've seen of that huge diagonal rift in the NEB.

Found this image of the solar disk from 2-9 and overlayed the field of view of the 10" mak at prime focus. Not much need for barlows at 3.6 meter focal length - and of course not many days when the sun can be viewed to advantage with a 10" f14.6!

Thanks for your comments -

Saturn Ring Spokes...Probable Artifact

Posted By Alan Friedman
Hi Jim -

While in Cedar Key we observed a radial darkening very similar to your image. Ours was the night of Feb. 10. One of my friends described them as spokes - I didn't feel the seeing was good enough to detect such a challenging feature. But it definitely was more prominent and further extending than the minima where the B ring meets the crepe ring.

very interesting!
