I sure wish I could get out and image. It’s been cloudy here for weeks. Raining right now. Doesn’t look good for this next week, either. I find it amazing that you can get such an image of an object that is ~2.5 million light years away. In about 4 billion years our galaxy and Andromeda will be like conjoined twins. Nice work, Joe. Central City looks almost as bright as my neighbor’s yard light. I’ll post whenever I get a chance. It’s kind of a bummer that the Salt Lake area has better imaging conditions than down here in beautiful, drizzly, St. George. However, good weather for staying inside and reading…cooler, too. Also, speaking of things to do inside, I screwed up my Windoze 7 Professional boot camp partition on my computer and had to fix that, yesterday. Don’t know what I did, but Windoze was not impressed. Much yelling and cussing…Windoze tends to bring out the best in me. Keep posting, Dave On Aug 2, 2014, at 20:17, Joe Bauman via Utah-Astronomy <utah-astronomy@mailman.xmission.com> wrote:
