Looks like there will be a few AM regulars there - hope to meet some of you. I'll have "Smurfette" (see my Avatar/profile) and my 13" (see attached photo).

This will be my first OTSP - I'm realllllly looking forward to it! grin grin grin

And here's my processed image.

Can any of you do better? I'm a rookie at this and I would like to learn how best to bring out the nebulosity and darken the background without bloating the stars. I'm using Paint Shop Pro 8.

Thanks,
Doug

Here's a processed image of M31 using the same setup but exposure time was only 10 minutes.

Use tape to attach laminate to bottom of rocker bo

Posted By Doug Scobel
Thanks for all the comments/advice, everyone. I may try using a small amount of double-sided tape on my new scope (16" Telekit) temporarily, to compare use of Ebony Star against FRP, on both all Teflon and the Teflon/roller bearings that came with the kit. But once I decide on what works best I'll probably secure it "permanently" with contact cement.
