Wonderful Image Dominique! One of the best waxing images I have every seen. This was done with a TOA130? At what focal ratio may I ask?

Keep working on it Walter, the program you use undoubtedly has some adjustments to move one image in relation to another and blend overlap. This looks like the programs first cut, but I am sure that it is not easy for the program to figure out how they are supposed to go.

I have not mosaic'ed astro images but have with daylight stuff, and sometimes the programs nail it perfect but often you have to make a some fine adjustments.

Roll off observatory finished!

Great job Greg. What exactly did you convert? Is it a metal, PVC, or wood shed? I was thinking of something that looks like what you have.

I have started on one as well. I am doing it in stages with a permanent pier and temp enclosure going in first. The pier is on the way, and I should have the footing in a couple weeks.

Mighty nice Greg. Sure wish I could catch this one with a trip south someday.

Comet Schwassmann-Wachmann 3

Posted By Kevin Brennan

I observed 73P on Monday nite with a glowing moon in the sky. So my impression is that it has brightened somewhat. It was still a very tough object to spot I found it scanning the area around Epsilon Bootis. I caught it with the motion of the scope but then could really see it best using averted vision. I was observing with a 5" apo at 71X. I intended to get the exact coordinates from my sky program but recorded where my mouse pointer was rather than my scope.
