MaxIm DL?

Posted By Thomas V Davis

Get Maxim. IMHO it's the best for camera control. I used to use it for some processing as well but not much anymore.

Both are excellent but the longer exposure has depth of color and better S/N.

Seeing was good, with FWHM = 1.8.

From Denver...nicely done. I lived in Aurora in the early 90's and I couldn't see the stars then. It must be even worse by now. Again well done.
