Tyler, Amazing!!!! On Tue, Jul 5, 2011 at 2:42 PM, Tyler Allred <tylerallred@earthlink.net>wrote:
Hi All!
I really enjoyed ALCON, and I can't express fully my admiration for those folks who worked so hard to pull it off. BRAVO!
I only managed to image on one night, due to equipment issues and sleep deprivation issues (no explanation will be offered here). However, the conditions were really great and I imaged four objects in my single imaging night. This is the first image that I am posting. It is a wide view of M8, "The Lagoon Nebula". My scope has a much shorter focal length than Joe's, so my view is less detailed and much wider. This is a very large extended object and it really has an amazing structure. Take a look if you get a minute. Please click the image a few times to see the full resolution version.
Cheers,
Tyler

PS - This was taken with a relatively new Finger Lakes Instrumentation ML8300 camera, which I am really enjoying.
