The first object after the ending of the dawn was the pelican nebula. I made images with all scopes, parallel alighned: Genesis, E 200 and the 12"ACF. The smaller scopes have two modded 350, the ACF had the 20 Da, modded. I took 5 subs a´8min with the ACF, then I changed to NGC 7814, taking more subs. Wheanwhile appeared in south beside jupiter a strange glow, getting higher (Speed like a satellite). The cloud had now reached zenith and had a very bright point at the end. This was followed by a mysterious cloud with two big halos. At the end, opposite of the bright cloud, was another object. I was well adapted, to see this: It was a part of a rocket, spreading out its fuel and followed by the other part of this rocket. Spectacular!!! But the main thing was: The halo didn´t exposed my subs! So, have a view on the central region of the Pelican. You will need a good monitor, to see all the dust streams. I do not want to blow up the image. The other image was made with the E 200, 10x5min. subs Comments are welcome: Bruno Meade 12" ACF Takahashi E 200 -------------------- Meade 12" ACF with GEG f-6.5, 2000mm, TAK e200 f-4, 800mm, 4" Genesis f-5, Canon EOS 20 Da, EOS 350 D (both modded) ST10XM w/CFW8, guidecam at GEG: ST2000XM Mount: Mauz Mam 100.
