I tried to capture as much nebulosity as I could, hence the overexposed core. taken feb. 22/09 from my dark sky site near Teulon, Mb., Canada. BTW the temperature was -22c. with a light breeze. My observatory offered some protection from the wind but still, brrrrrrr. Can't wait until I get my warm room setup. -------------------- SN8, LXD75, ETX 80, 4 1/2 inch Newtonian, DSI-C, Meade series 4000 eyepiece set, Antares ub2s barlow, antares 5x barlow, 10x50 binoculars.
