New Images
In this section, I've included my latest images that I haven't had time to place into the main MX7C page.

The following images were taken at the recent Star Party held by the Central Florida Astro Society at the club's dark site. These represent the first serious attempts at using the 80mm with a 0.0001 lux video camera to guide the 12"LX200 (almost a 1 to 3 FL ratio). This allowed full sensitivity of the MX7C to be utilized, which gave a good S/N and color signal. All of the galaxy images were taken with the same optical setup (at f/4), so these images provide a good comparsion of the relative sizes of these objects!
