So we installed the RASA and it is running smoothly now and WOW, can this thing suck up the light!!  All of the Pics below are very short integration times and were down in a few nights of good skies.  I hope you all enjoy and I must say this is a cool scope!!

 

Thanks for looking!!

Holy cow!  That's just not fair, please share some of that starlight with the rest of us!

I like NGC 1333 the most.

_{It is great to see the "Hyperstar" evolve into this fine imaging system.  Great work Jimmy - I am sure there is more to come....}

Thanks again Guys!!  This is with a FLI Microline 11002 OSC

[Footbag]

Awesome images! That scope is going to make a lot of nice images!

[fco_star]

Amazing images!

[jerry10137]

Fabulous job with that!

[GJJim]

Stunning results! How are you handling the focusing between subs?

[Rankinstudio]

Stunning!

[KapHn8d]

Whoa.

 

These really give a new guy like me some perspective on what a difference speed of light accumulation can make. These are really awesome for unguided exposures!

Wow, some great images!  It's nice to see the capability of that scope with good skies and expert processing.

[Warhen]

We of the focal ratio challenged do not like you Mr. Jimmy Walker. I must go back to baking my photons now... :>))

[Cristina Cellini]

Thanks everyone!!

Wow, those are some awesome images! Guess that astrograph is a light-sucking fiend! Brilliant exposures. Imagine what you could do if you could find a 16803 to fit within the central obstruction...

[weatherandsky]

WOW some sweet looking images! Great setup too!!

[SGT500]

wow dude, that is a sick setup! The image quality is out of this world. 

[bill w]
