PS....have I ever mentioned I'd love your telescope..?

Oh and BTW that is both a scientifically meaningful and aesthetically pleasing palette!

Gee, shucks, pshaw ... feeling suitably .

Thanks Mike!

Thanks, Greg. We've been trying to do faint galaxies in Virgo early in the night before the moon comes up, and we've programmed this lot in for after midnight, after moonrise, after slew limit on the galaxies, whichever came first. Some images got chucked out due to cloud, but it slowly accumulated all by itself. The biggest problem was residual images of the focusing star.

Thanks Steve! Looks like we're going to have to take some RGB stars over new moon, and learn to drop them into the starless image. Wish us luck!
