Thanks Larry. I never got to really image. I just couldn’t get things to work right. The main problem was guiding. It was hard to find a bright enough guide star with that pickup mirror system of the 8300 using a nebula filter. I, finally, got it to work, but it was 03:30 by that time. I was beat. I wasn’t going to wait for a whole series of images to complete. I packed it up and went to bed. Dave Dave On Jun 8, 2014, at 18:54, Larry Holmes <larry@kijoda.com> wrote:

My first attempt imaging with a nebula filter. Can’t say it was too successful. This is just a preview image of about 200 seconds. I never did get things going to get a full-acquisition image. I may try again, tonight. These early-morning imaging sessions can be brutal. I think I got most of the weird stuff hammered out last night. I didn’t have any coffee for Murphy, so he just stayed a couple of minutes, but it was enough to throw me off. Doesn’t take much. Sorry about the size of the image. It was the best I could muster.
