Hi Rogerg,

Gee I like your images. Magnitude 20 objects eh? it reminds me of the days when I was using my homemade CCD imager (the Cookbook CCD) and getting Magnitude 19 galaxies with just a few minutes exposure on a 8-inch telescope.

It makes me wonder if I have gone backward with a Digital SLR - now I have a 12-inch telescope and even with 50minute exposures I can only just reach those faint Mag. 19+ objects.

regards
