All,

With Orion setting around 01:30 or so there was a dearth of largish objects to shoot so I tried this as an experiment. Interesting result. Lots of little galaxies in this...

FSQ106N, Pentax 6x7 with vacuum back, AP900GTO, 90 minutes on E200. ZLM of about 6.7 but the seeing was not great. Winds gusting 25 MPH out of the North and yes ... it was cold.

The universe is a *really* big place <g>

Regards

Bill
