Hi John, this guy is faint and hard to get good data with. Nice image
though. I see that mighty 7" is working out well.

You take this since Ike? If so quick work getting things set up again
or did you leave the mount to fend for itself?

Interesting to compare to the 900mm version. Hard to say which is best.
Each has its place.

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

Very nice image John.
The wide field seems to show the full extent of the dark lane. This setup
will be perfect for the large nebulae in Cassiopeia like IC 1805 or IC 1848.

I took everything apart and just yesterday got it put back together.
This was taken before Ike.
