Default An all nighter last night - with pictures

Hi all,

It had been cloudy here on the West Coast of Florida for the last three
weeks. That all changed last night as a front went through during the day. I
set the scope up before nightfall and finally went to bed at 5:45am! I got a
much needed sky fix with perfect transparency, albeit so-so seeing. Needless
to say I took the day off today G!

In addition to catching up on my Herschel's and trying out my new Pentax XL
40 (great eyepiece!), I burned the chip out of my Olympus C4000Z. Here are
some shots:

Haven't processed Mars yet .

Take Care,
