Well done! Post Extras:       Mike Phillips Post Laureate Reged: 02/21/06 Loc: Swift Creek, NC - 35.682 N, 78...

The 'bite' near Ganymede is some ugly artifact. This is not my best work, not up to my standards ... but fun none the less to spend 10-20 setup, imaging and teardown! Cool down time didn't count!

Do you need to collimate before you image with the C8 or is that one of the time intensive steps that is only needed for Akule?
