Siegfried notified me this morning that Don Parker passed away. He provided this link to Don's work. http://www.masil-astro-imaging.com/Don%20Parker.html It's amazing what the man did with a 16" reflector. I don't mean to discourage anyone on this board from taking pictures, but Don was a dedicated, skillful photographer. I heard him once at an Astronomical League convention. For every hour he spent at the telescope, he spent 12 at the computer working over his images. He will be sorely missed.
