IC 5070


This is 5.5 hours of Ha data shot the evening of 7/21/07. Still shooting throught the Sky 90. I love this little scope. I'm hooked on wide field imaging. I don't see myself shooting through the 10" Lx200 anytime in the near future unless it is for planetary. I guess you could day I have APO fever. What a beautiful night. Seeing was average but skies were clear as can be. Saw several bright meteors while sitting outside for a short period.

Dave,
Your pictures are amazing. You sure have come a long way from your first little telescope. Keep the pictures coming I really enjoy them.

Dave,
Jaw dropping images. I look forward to future pics. As I approach first light with my Tak 90 and new CCD setup, I hope to some day come close to what you've accomplished here. Truly amazing.
