I wouldn’t be surprised if someone is holding the winning bright submission for the last day, I’ve seen it happen before, but at the end of the day, we still decide who wins. I’m OK with that. My pet peeve is mega dollar cameras in the beginners contests… They are hard to top with a $400 CCD. Like the lead in to the forum says… “Typical beginning imaging equipment will include webcams, the Meade DSI and other low cost imagers.” My two cents worth… Richard -------------------- 11” Celestron XLT SCT Orion ED80 APO CG-5 GEM JMI NGF-CM Focuser Orion SSDSI Meade DSI Pro an assortment of 1.25” & 2" stuff all tucked inside the Blue Moon Observatory http://tinyurl.com/29b9wn Basically more scope than my abilities warrant "I know I can never look upon the stars without wondering why the whole world does not become astronomers."
