Are you refering to the reality TV show?..not familiar with it.

But I recon there are at least some trilobites in a shallow sea...

Hey thanks Doug it is a great target so I didn't have to do that much.

You've really captured everything in one image, all the different hues, all the details in the core and all the variations in brightness across the scene - with lots to see in the background as well. Great effort! I dare not imagine what it will look like through your new scope...

It's a great target - I have a ToUCam image of this one from a couple of years ago, but I think I'll just quietly keep that one to myself .
Thanks for the positive apraisal Rolf

I am quietly hoping that the feared temprementality associated with operating a large portable super fast corrected Newt isn't so overpowering that I have to fall back on this crappy refractor..oh the pain...
