This image was taken using the Meade f3.3 focal reducer and 30 mm extension ring on my 8" f10 LX 200.     The horizontal pixel scale is about 3.4 arcsec per pixel.   The image is a composite of three 20 minute exposure autoguided with the STAR 2000.  I also used the IDAS Light Pollution Reduction (LPR) filter.  The MX-5C images were first color converted and combined with the Astro Art and then further processed  in Photoshop.   Total exposure is 60 minutes.  Click here to go back.
