Wow Maurice, you've been busy since I last checked in on your "ETX-70 sees" thread! I think I spent a full 20 minutes this morning (and that's a lot for me lately) gazing at the great string of images you've taken over the last few days. Some beautiful and deep shots in there. Always a pleasure. Like mathteacher (above), I'm also worried that I may be lured someday to the dark side thanks to your incredible work.

Although you don't necessarily need them, clear skies to you,

Dale

Thanks Dale for your interest Last night at the club's monthly meeting following a talk on the Cassini Mission by Jerry Workman, I did a short PowerPoint presentation of these recent images called DSO imaging from suburbia with ETX-70 and it was well received.
