Quick and Dirty M3

Had a few points at GRAS that I thought I'd use since I haven't been there for quite some time. So, I went onto GRAS3 and took a 10 minute happy snap of M3.

GRAS3 (New Mexico, USA): Tak TOA-150 f/7.33
SBIG ST2000XCM
10 min exposure

Quick and dirty, barely any processing except levels on image I got from GRAS. Moon was up fairly high, but I picked a relatively bright target to image.

That's nice Carl. I wasn't aware you did astro-photography as well. Keep them coming.

I do a bit every now and then...when the mood takes me

Little difficult setting my own gear up sometimes. With the arthritis I have I find it hard to hold the scope when I'm sitting it on the tripod to screw it down...and it's only an 8", but I get it out when I can. Would like to set it up permanently one day.
