Thank you everyone 
I guess during the winter time the seeing here in florida is really good.
Yes, this was taken with one of the schools telescopes. Hopefully soon ill use a 10" RCX, and a little later in the year ill be using the schools 16" Optical guidance systems RC on DSO's

Sal,great image!!!
When your done with your AT8RC let me know!!! I am serious.I need a longer F/L scope,and the light CF AT8RC is just the perfect scope for the job! Plus it covers APS-C and even bigger sensors with nice,pinpoint stars across the field.
But,If I had to choose between that and an RCX10...I would go for the RCX hands down..
Anyways,like I said.GREAT image!
CS!

Thanks alot Brent!
if i ever sell my 8Rc i will let you know. for now though im going to keep it. If i owned a Rcx i would definitely sell it. but that scope is just one of the ones that my schools observatory has. so since im interning there im able to use their equipment.
Ill be using my 8RC when i return home from college on breaks
I would definitely recommend you looking on the used market for one. I love mine and im sure you would love one. Great little scope.
