Wow!

Were those single 2 hour exposures for each channel, or did you sum a
bunch of shorter exposures for each?

If the former, then it looks like the RCX tracks (and guides)
beautifully. You've convinced me I really, really need one - now :-)

Cheers

Jason,


This is the best image or photo I've ever seen of the Rosette.

The elegant filimentary detail has an incredible 3 dimensional effect.

I think Meade should use your image. I think it would sell a lot of RCXs. I
know that I'm impressed on a whole new level now.

Stunning image Jason. Are you planning a mosaic of the whole core?
That would be worth the time.
