Hi Milton -
I like your new wide mosaic a lot - I think it is one of your best - the
processing is very well done. Using the C8 at 8 meter focal length will
require really good seeing conditions, I think. I've found a focal length
about 7 meters to be optimum on the moon with my 255mm mak.
Tim and Walter - great new deep sky images from you.
I had one good night for lunar imaging late in the summer. I spent that
early morning doing 9 panel sweeps of a number of regions. I chose to
hand select the frames on these so that I could prioritize the sharpness
in a region of interest for each frame. The processing is going SLOW
(and our devastating storm from Oct 13 hasn't helped matters much).
The finished images are posted on the latest image page of my
website.

The copernicus region image is probably my best lunar shot to date. I
have a few more to complete then its off to more average data from
October.
best wishes -
Alan

Hi folks;
I took this the second night that I could use the new C8 scope.
