Hi,
Impressive... especially M27... WOW! [smilie=good-job.gif]

By the way, the shot taken with the Nikon 180ED lens look impressive... stars look round till the edge. Did you shoot at wide open?

Have a nice day.

during the last trip, I managed to capture some nice data of Jupiter as well.
This is in IR block around 2 mins? a whole whopping 1.5gb for 1 single AVI. lol
Not there yet, but i am seeing improvements from my last session.
Enjoy!

Nice detail in the cloud bands. GRS! A few more months to Jupiter opposition. You will be very well prepared by then. Thanks for sharing.
