I have a big 14" Celestron and Meade SCT scopes, but the little Takahashi takes good shots and is a easy setup.
Got some great shots tonight taking a pic of the Horsehead nebula right now.

I think I just saw June Lockhart and Angela Cartwright in one of those pics. Cool.
I hope they find their way home. I've been worried about them for years.

I stepped out of a super nova...and then my mom yelled, "Be sure to wipe your shoes before you come into the house." I hate that b****!

I should be able to get that close. The raw image is about 3200 x 2500. I'm using it for my background and it looks pretty cool.

I'm amazed that a personal/private telescope can get those images. That's a great piece of technology.
