This image was taken using the Meade f3.3 focal reducer on my 8" f10 LX 200.    The image is a composite of two separate exposures: One 10 minute and one 20 minute.   Exposures were autoguided with the STAR 2000.  They were converted to color in the STAR 2000 software,  combined in MaxIm DL and then further processed  in Photoshop.   Total exposure is 30 minutes.  Click here to go back.
