Everyone was amazed at the images on my Speco.The best comment I kept hearing was,"and he's doing it with an 8" scope!".The worst comment came from a wife to her husband after hearing what my total investment ($2K) was," Now don't you start getting any ideas!".I've posted some of the "snapshots" taken with AmCap in the RAC/SSP Album on the MallinCam yahoo Group. 28 and 56 sec.intergations(56 show amp glow).I did do a mini post processing in "Microsoft Picture It 10",a poor mans Photoshop.They (imagers) could not believe how I was taking pictures. Dave Snay of ATT magazine was there and handed out free copies .One, the July copy had a great review on the MC.Maybe next year there will be WIFI on the field.Soo,did I miss much while I was away?

Maybe in a year or so I'll master the true art of stacking and processing. But for now,I'm just blown away by these early results."And he's doing it with an 8" scope!".
