All my images are remotely over the Internet at the RAS observatory located in Cloudcroft New Mexico. I rent time on one of several telescopes and so I don't know what the individual filters would cost. I personally find that this approach to imaging is extremely convenient and cost effective (there is no way in the world could I afford the kind of equipment I am able to rent along with the time savings of having it permanently set up in an observatory), but I also realize that I do sacrifice the "experience" of imaging with my own equipment. The one off-set is that I do use my own equipment for viewing and so I am able to conveniently separate viewing from imaging and for me it works extremely well. --- Canopus56 <canopus56@yahoo.com> wrote:

In the meantime, I was able to get three images of Comet Pojmanski this past week. Each image is taken with a different camera with a different FOV. <snip> Outstanding pics, Ed.
I was suprised that in the close-up of the head of the comet (the third image) the core is not round but is in the shape of a "bar". Most interesting. That _is_ weird. I'd ship them off to APOD.
I has been a while since my last post but I have kept busy working on images of all of the Messier images. From the rest of your album, it looks like you are having a good-ol-time with those Ha and S filters. Approx. how much did they set you back? - Canopus56
