Ghost of Jupiter (NGC-3242) - First DSO since Oct. 2006

[qcdougn]

Well gang,

I've finally gotten the kit up and running since my move. This isn't a Deep-DSO. But, at least it shows that I'm back out there. Actually this would be a great beginner target since it is a bright planetary. This was only 4 subs at 20 sec with the LX-90 at f6.3 and the Canon XT at ISO 800.

Thanks

Doug Neal

Thanks guys and gals,

I was surprised to see the fair amount of detail for such a short time at it. Oh well, someone else liked it too....see link.

Retards,

Doug
