[AZ-Observing] Re: M7 in The tail of the Scorpion

Hi Steve,

"I need to start saving for a DSLR."

The DSLR is starting to feel like the cheap part. I bought a Canon XTi for 
just such purposes. Then I realized I needed some extra memory cards, 
ImagesPlus software, upgrade the ports on my PC (probably get a new PC), 
upgrade my laptop for for focusing and capture in the field, piggyback mount 
(want to by your old one back? same $1.00 to you), cabling, on axis guider 
w/ t-ring, PEC corretion software (which included, configuring a webcam for 
guiding), plus the hours invested in reading up on all this stuff. BUT, it 
is kinda fun....

Chris;

Another great shot from the 80mm RFT, I am picking up an 80ED tomorrow =
and I
need to start saving for a DSLR.  It looks like fun astrophotography.

I love the differences in color in that shot, the brown of the dust, the
silver of the stars nearby and the black of the dark nebula.

Great stuff;
Steve Coe

Here is the latest shot from our ultra dark
observatory in Happy Jack, of the star field around M7
with our Stellarvue.  The sheer number of stars in
this part of the sky is staggering, and you will also
note that few blue stars lie here - because everything
in this field is so dust obscured by interstellar dust
near the galactic center, the stars have a strong
yellowish to brown tint.
