I tried some piggyback astrophotography years ago just to see if I liked it. I've since decided that I don't but here's a shot of M31 taken with a Pentax K1000 with a 28mm lens at f/1.5 with ISO200 film and a 5 minute exposure, taken from the top of Cadillac Mountain, Maine. The camera, by the way, was mounted on my old, old 60mm refractor on an EQ-1 mount. Not much but better than I expected.

Those are without a doubt the most beautiful pics ive ever seen. Does an APO have an edge over SCTs in photography?

Ok, I only saw 1 M40 posted, so here's mine. It's a lonely Messier, but worthy of note just for that.
Is there a list of all the M's posted so far? I have a bunch of them on my site, if you like I'll post as many as you guys can stand.
Here's my info:
A single frame taken by me on July 31, 2007. Exposure 2 seconds at ISO 400.
Celestron C102, 500mm, f/5. Canon XTI. Processed in Photoshop CS.
