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

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

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.
