ASTRO: One Owl and a few faint fuzzies

Taken the same night I did M108 posted earlier. One Lum frame was out
of focus and was pitched so I'm a bit short of time. Still it came out
fairly well. I had forgotten to turn on the temperature compensation
routine. I'm still climbing the learning curve it seems.

14" LX200R@F/10, L=5x5', RGB=3x5' all binned 2x2, STL=11000XM, 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".

Wow!!! Very Nice and well framed. I like the colors.

Thanks.

When you look close it turns out that about half the faint stars are
really galaxies not stars. I quickly lost track trying to count them
all. If seeing had been typical I doubt most would have even shown up
or wouldn't have been distinguishable from stars.

It's centered because I didn't use the guider. Up that high of a
declination I can easily run 10 minutes or longer without guiding. The
Paramount is an amazing mount. When the subject is well off center you
know it's because no guide star was handy and I was too lazy to go out
and activate the off axis guiding camera. Even with it on I rarely can
center on the object but can get close most of the time as it has a much
greater range than the built in guider chip.

Great picture of the owl Rick.
There is even some detail in the fuzzies.
Unfortunately my newsserver gets only a fraction of all images, it misses
most of my own posts and your M97 too (saw it on
http://www.usenet-replayer.com/webrings/astro.html, still waiting for your
M106 to show up there).
