[Lvas] Lvas Digest, Vol 17, Issue 9

[Kathy & Ryland Ogle]

Hello Rob,

I took the photo of the orion nebula with a 6" Celestron refractor and a 
Canon XSi DSLR.
It is a single 30 second image with some post processing in ps pro. I've 
made a couple of attempts to stack with mixed results, but will continue to 
try.

Was your shot through the 10" sct you spoke of at the meeting? Unbelieveable 
that much light in 2 seconds, wow.

As for Redstone this weekend I'll be there.

Thanks again,
Ryland
