Thanks for the comments folks...

Floyd, Tyler, Good luck on your shots of M64. Don't wait too long - pretty soon it will be late season for this guy.

Tom,
Very nicely done - as you say a premiere image. I hope you submit it to APOD. I guess they will snap it right up.

3 new shots for this weekend...

Nice Ivan! I like them all. As others have said that little camera does hold it's own.

Out of curiosity, I was wondering what else you shot the needs to go "back to the drawing board"?

Floyd,
Super image. I like the other small galaxies that come with this wider field.

How do you like the Astronomik RGBs? I need to step up to some better RGBs and I am thinking of getting these.
