Default ASTRO: M8

I'm finding amazing treasures on this hard drive. I'd started M8 only
to have it run into a tree. Seeing wasn't good and never got any better
so I never tried again. One shot doesn't normally make much of a photo
but when the subject is bright enough it works better than I expected.
So here's the one frame I managed before the tree got in the way. I
reduced it only to keep the download size under 300K. When I saved the
full size version at a low enough compression it didn't lose contrast
then the file size was 500K, just too big.

14" LX200R@f/10, 1x10 minutes binned 2x2, STL-11000M, Paramount ME

Correct domain name is arvig and it is net not com. Prefix is correct.
Third character is a zero rather than a capital "Oh".

Rick,

even with one shot it looks nice smooth.
