Here is NGC 6946 from last night, shot with my ancient parallel port ST-7. It is 7 ten minute Luminance images taken at F5 through my C9.25. I normally post in the other CCD forum, but maybe my old CCD belongs here? I don't know. I will try for some color later, if the weather holds up. -------------------- http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v287/Raven911/Astrophotos/ http://www.eye-of-the-raven.blogspot.com/ My list of second-hand and home-made stuff: Celestron SC6 Celestron C9.25 100mm F6/76mm F4.5/80mm F5/SV NHII 80mm F6 Achros SBIG ST7/Canon 300D/DSI Pro Mono/Starshoot DSCI 8 inch F7 Newt on Edmund EQ 8 inch F4.5 Project Astrograph Edited by Raven911 (10/25/09 11:52 AM) Post Extras:       Dan G Carpal Tunnel Reged: 06/27/06 Posts: 2020 Loc: Minisink, NY, USA Re: NGC 6946 - Right forum?

Was your seeing a little soft? Focus looks off a bit which could also be caused by falling temps.
