All,

Since i was too sick (cold) to head out of town for the 3+ hour trek to
some dark pristine skies so I stayed home and did some narrow band
imaging from my mag 3.5 skies, backyard observatory. My ancient ST7
doesn't have a lot of sensitivity but I continue to be amazed at what
can be coaxed out of some really awful skies with the help of an Ha filter.

Bubble Nebula - 5x30Min Takahashi FSQ.

Crescent Nebula - 2x30Min

Barnards Pony - 5x30Min

Sheesh - I really need a more sensitive and Bigger Camera.

Regards

Bill

If you are interested in charities, you can give me your ST7 when you
purchase you new camera.
