However, here's one of the better results. It still needs tweaking
and is a bit dark for my tastes. I'll post the full details of the
capture session on my website when I'm finished.

Basic information: Taken afocally through an f9 Vixen FL-102s
refractor on a GP-DX mount. Olympus C-2100uz digital camera in movie
mode (320x240, ISO 400, 12.5fps). Full zoom (10x, focal length 70mm)
on the camera. 5mm Lanthanum eyepiece.

Session time 00:00 -- 01:00 UT on the 28th July 2003. Seeing 5/10,
transparency 5/10.

Not too sure if I can get much more out of a 4".

That's a wonderful piece of work, Pete. Lots of details seen. Somehow,
I wonder if the Seeing were 9/10, what other additional might show up.
You're truly a master of 4-inch imaging, an only from a digital camera!
Please keep up the good work and I look forward to see more.

Say, that 4" Vixen 102FL is a mighty fine 4-inch APO, Pete!

Thanks for the kind words Ron. The Vixen certainly is a good
performer.
