Newbies first post..M-104

Noooo, another MX7C.... my wife is gonna kill me if I fall for one of these!!! (Lance is the prime culprit here, he's getting me hooked into these one-shot CCDs)

Very nice shot Ken, does not look like a "newbie" shot to me... (personally, I love M-104)

Thanks for sharing, and looking forward to more shots from you...

EXCELLENT SHOT Ralph!
Gotta love those globulars, and specially when you actually get the different tones in the star colors...

Keep'em coming my friend!

Ed, as Chris & Jarad mentioned and IMHO, nothing cheap & small will match/surpass what you already have...
I would think that if you have poor views from your scope is either bad seeing or miscollimation... but it should beat all the other scopes mentioned here (not bashing) hands down... (unless going to larger aperture APOs)

You have not mentioned WHAT is exactly the problem with your 8", so we are all guessing on what exactly you want to do, and why...

Clear skies!

Ken, excellent!
(I love purple too, but I think red is the right color... hehehehe)

For a "newbie", like you call yourself, you are bringing some very nice shots, my friend... keep it up, as practice makes perfection...

Clear skies to all!

Mark, Beautiful Image, as usual!
I hope you won't mind me resizing it a bit and rotating it, as I almost got a stiff neck from looking at the Eagle in a weird position! LOL!
Excellent detail, specially on the dark dust lanes. Awesome tracking too!

Thank you for sharing!
