Active Cooled C9

Cool, I remember the article in Amateur Astronomy (#31) about this very scope. I thought then (and now) it was a very inovative and effective idea for getting rid of tube currents that trouble so many.

Thanks everyone.
Some very good links. I have a couple of weeks before we meet again to go over everyone's ideas, I've got a lot of reading to do. :S

Starlings can have several iridescent colors if you get them in the right light.

Nice shot of another unique looking species.
Was this handheld with the Vixen scope setup? If so then I'd say great job!
That is pretty tough rig to restle with. Looks like your focus point
is just inches behind him and the DOF looks very narrow.

Keep them comming,
