That photo was pretty much the end of my astrophotography pursuits. It's a 9 panel mosaic using the Astro-Physics FastMax 235 MakNewt and an SBIG ST-10. It took over 3 months to get all the exposures.
Something had to give, my "hobby" (ie. OCD) or my marriage.
We just celebrated our 21st wedding anniversary this month so you know which one won that battle! 
Awesome image...and better yet..awesome relationship move.

Thanks, I got the scope, mount, and tripod all together from Markus Ludes while he was at NEAF. The coolest part is the scope is in like new condition.

I like all types of telescopes and enjoy photos of them, but refractors always seem the best looking.
