Hi Dave, I send you some pictures made with my 25" Obsession scope from Granada. M27 and M13 are made with a canon 300D (Rebel in USA). Only it was necessary five exposures ( each of 20 seconds) and added with Registax. Saturn is taken with a toucam and Uranus with a video JVC camera. I recognize that they are improvable but it has been my first intent without equatorial platform or derotator. Enjoy them and best regards!! - Antonio Román M57, the Ring Nebulae in Lyra taken by Bob Brunck with 25" Obsession at prime focus with Canon digial camera. NGC 891 taken by Bob Brunck with 25" Obsession, Equatorial Platform, and Canon EOS digital camera. Note the incredible detail within the dust lane Dan Price took this incredible image of M13 with an Obsession 25" f/5, Galaxy Mirror, Stellarcat ServoCAT, Argo-Navis DSC, Optec Pyxis Field De-Rotator, SBIG ST-10XME, SBIG AO-7, and Optec TCFS. Incredible detail similar to what professional observatories are doing. larger image Randy Brewer with home made scope buggy.

Notice English observers like to observe with the eyepiece on the opposite side compared to North American observers. Is this because they drive on the opposite of the street? larger image Jeff Paterson with his 25" at the 2006 Winter Star Party. larger image Ed Greding, 25" owner in Harper, Texas Dan Price took this incredible image of M56 with an Obsession 25" f/5, Galaxy Mirror, Stellarcat ServoCAT, Argo-Navis DSC, Optec Pyxis Field De-Rotator, SBIG ST-10XME, SBIG AO-7, and Optec TCFS. Three one minute exposures in red, green and blue. Notice that the core is not "burned out" like so many photos. Outstanding core resolution and peripheral stars all exposed perfectly. larger image David R. in St Mary's City, MD with 25" larger image Russ Ravella in Sahuarita, Arizona with 25" waiting for First Light John H. with his 25" in Monteray California Mike Sperry ready for First Light with his new 25".
