Very nice! Using the separate alignments is very helpful in average seeing.

I love your image! It is just beautiful.

I just had to open it in Photoshop for a closer look - I hope you don't mind. I reduced the saturation of the blue and cyan and increased the sharpness just a wee bit. It may not be an improvement but have a look and see what you think.

Hi Paul -

Excellent image!

From my location - even though the seeing is generally poor most of the time - there are often very brief windows of steady air right after sunset and right before sunrise.

Super images - all of them. Are you using a ToUcam for all of these?

Beautiful image.

I have been using an auxilliary focuser on my 10" mak for planetary imaging. With the tiny chip size of the webcam I find it really cuts down the time spent on focusing.

Hi Jim -

Beautiful.

I have the same experience with the CSC. Except that on those rare times when the seeing is better than predicted, I always find out from someone else!!
