Very cool! Thanks, RMD TL Davis: “The Second Amendment is special, not because it protects guns, but because its violation signals a government with the intention to oppress its people…” Remember: After the first one, the rest are free. | |||

I'm with ya. I'm going for the deep stuff this winter. Using a 12" RC with a ZWO ASI 1600MM-C camera with a 2x extender added in the imaging train. On my scope it gives me a focal length of4680mm and a focal ratio of f15.6. ********* US Army, Retired NRA Golden Eagle Life Member ‘‘Are we at last brought to such humiliating and debasing degradation, that we cannot be trusted with arms for our defense? ...

That’s right. In fact there are several galaxies in the photo. Just look for the little blobs. ********* US Army, Retired NRA Golden Eagle Life Member ‘‘Are we at last brought to such humiliating and debasing degradation, that we cannot be trusted with arms for our defense? ...
