Hi Rob,

Impressive image. That AP scope certainly shines and lives up to its reputation. Your Image Plus program produces some very good results. It's on my wish list this Season and I hope it's under the tree this year. I have dropped enough hints and printed web pageswink Looking forward to more of your posts. Thanks,

Dan

Mount Advice

Hi Steve,

You'll be right at the Tak conservative limit with the load you mentioned with an EM200. It will work for visual just fine if you balance carefully. But, with such great equipment I bet it won't be long before you're into imaging. Then you'll need the NJP for sure.

Hope this helps,

Dan

Super impressive Alex. Love the detail in the heart of the nebula. The G11 does track very well: nice proof in your image. Thanks for posting.

Great job JD!

Perfect composition. The detail in the nebulas is very impressive. It's also an effective contrast between the angularity of the eyecatching stars and the amorphous gas clouds. I really like it. I think your best to date.
