My 1st semi-decent DSO. Considering my cr......ummy setup (U thought I was going to say that OTHER cr word didn't you!?)

:Kodak point N' shoot coupled to the 6" achro refractor.

40X3 sec images stacked. (you guessed it! in B/W cos' of the terrible CA!)

Lots of fun, even if it's a terrible image.
