Image of the day

Great job resolving the core and bringing out the faint surrounding stars that always make for a pretty globular image. An excellent start,hope to see it in color too smile

Neat object!

Looks like you have your alignment dialed in well. I've shot some subs on M57 that looked pretty well saturated,it's a bright little sucker! I went real easy with the stretching to keep it from blowing out the highlights.

Beautiful pairing there Jim.
The dark nebula and Milky Way make a perfect background!

Hi Floyd,

Great first light with the new scope!
Despite the poor seeing,the results look very promising.
That is a heck of a temerature drop,did you happen to notice
how much your focus position changed from the first till the last exposure?

Nice image and congrats on the new scope,

Jason
