[FOOTPRINT]

Hi All,
We had a few hours of clear sky on Friday night so I tried M33 with the ED80+ Canon, its a faint object (low surface brightness) and this picture is 4 x 10 Min Exp. added in photoshop, but there seems to be some processing artifacts (dark blobs Etc.) after the adding process, by comparison the B/W picture was taken with the guiding camera (MX7C) with an exposure of 3 Min. so next trial will be with the Canon on the LX200-10"-F10 but at F6, dont know if it will get the whole 1 degree of M33 but will be a better comparison (LX200 vs ED80).

cheers.......Jim
