Hi Folks;

I had one good night and a few mediocre nights this month, but managed to capture several brighter galaxies, some clusters and nebula.

My favorites are the final NGC 2392 Eskimo Nebula image (including blown up section):

and NGC 4565:

Turbulence was erratic and the dark winter nights are fading fast.

Also, I'll be releasing a Beta version of Astro IIDC 4.06.00 in early to mid April for testing. It has several improvements to existing features (flat and dark subtraction maintain movie depth now) and a few new features (temperature monitoring and control, cropping when recording with Cameras that don't support HardWare ROI, Spatial setting for sharpness estimation, Field De-Rotation etc.).

TTYL..
