First Light Butterfly

Dan,

This is a great image, and I also like the older image.

It appears as if the newer image is not that much deeper than the old, but the old was only just less than 2 hours, and the new is 3 hours.

Was there a difference in focal ratios?

Thanks for sharing!

First Guided Image--Yep, Another North America

Larry,

Is that the Meade 6.3 FR you are using? And if so, is the image cropped? The edge of your field looks nice and sharp, and I don't see much evidence of vignetting.

Great first guided image! Well done.

Don't you just love those Zenithstars?

Roland,

Very pleasing image. Sometimes b&w is just what is needed for some impact!
