Here is an Image I exposed back in February but have just finished processing now. It is the reflection Nebula NGC 1788. I imaged this at one of my favorite dark sites here in Southern California. I have attached a mid sized thumbnail; a full size image and exposure and processing details are at:

Scope was a C8 at f/2.8 and the Camera was my ToUcam SC3. This is an LRGB composite image.

Jim,
You really get as much out of a Toucam as anything I've seen. Great shot!

Well, Thanks to everybody for your kind comments...

Now I have to say I am quite embarrased - my citation is incorrect. The object is NGC1788 (not NGC 1877). I guess that's what I get for staying up late and not getting enough sleep. Sorry.

You may have noticed that I also appear less anonomous - I have a picture of myself for a forum avatar.
