How about....

First light with a C11. This is my first try at long focal length imaging, so the guiding was not perfect, and the seeing was crappy as usual.

This is with an ST-10E, 6x10 minutes. Minimal levels and curves in Photoshop, some LR deconvolution in AIP to sharpen it up a bit. Color would be nice, but this B&W has sort of a "3D" look to it.

Hi Jeff-
I have a question of exposure length with galxies. If you take a 10 min exposure and the core is burnt out can the core be saved by ddp? Or must you adjust the exposure length so core is not burnt out?

Thanks
Carl
