Hi ProfJohn,

Taken on the night of the 18th of August 2008 at 1123UT.

Best 500 or so frames of a 1000 frame avi at 30fps with a DMK 21AF04.AS monochrome camera for luminance, then switched over to a Phillips SPC900NC for the colour.

Taken through a Meade 10″ RCX400 @ f/6 (I left a focal reducer in by mistake), Meade 3x TeleXtender, Meade 1.25″ flip mirror.

I was really happy with these, this is probably the best one of the bunch, pity I had forgotten about the focal reducer. When I stacked the images in Registax, I resized them 1.4x (Mitchell) to increase the image scale.

Cheers
Stuart
