Ummm, did you mean David? It was his images I was referring to (BTW, David just joined us here on this "venerable" list). patrick

The buoyancy of Meade scopes aside <g> I've been looking at David's astroimages and was surprised to see they were not taken with some fancy, giga-cost CCD imager but rather with a DSLR mounted inside a homemade cooler box.

I especially like his Horsehead and Rosette images: http://www.slas.us/gallery2/main.php?g2_itemId=2060 http://www.slas.us/gallery2/main.php?g2_itemId=2078

Looks like he's going to give the other photographers on the gallery a fun run for their money.
