As was announced at the SLAS meeting last night the U's Frisco Peak Observatory had first light Thursday night. Professor Wayne Springer was kind enough to email a copy of the very first image taken that night. I've posted it here: http://users.wirelessbeehive.com/~paw/temp/frisco1stlight.jpg He added: "The attached image of NGC891 was the first image obtained on the telescope at Frisco Peak....It was a randomly selected object near zenith at the time. NGC891 is a spiral galaxy in the Andromeda constellation. Its apparent magnitude is 10.8., apparent dimensions 13.5 arcmin x 2.5 arcmin. The light traveled 27.3 million years on its way to our telescope and imager.... 5 120 sec exposures. no darks or bias yet. -35 C temp. Taken by Paul Ricketts with minimal processing... We can also see this well through an eyepiece!!!" "The following we night we imaged a couple dozen more objects." He went on to say that they will be posting stuff at www.physics.utah.edu soon. Wow!!! patrick
