Hi all, Last night was great at the Pit-n-Pole. We had a few clouds early in the evening, but the conditions improved as the night went along and it turned out to be a pretty good night overall. I managed two images last night. First, I did M101, and the dark sky really helped to bring out some of the dim areas. http://tinyurl.com/ju67k Next I imaged a nice triplet of galaxies including the "Whale and Pup" and the "Crowbar" galaxies. There are MANY other galaxies visible in the larger image if you look closely. http://tinyurl.com/zy63m Click the small images to see full res versions. I hope you enjoy these results as much as I enjoy taking them. :-) Cheers, Tyler
