This is really quite nicely done. Great telescope. I can't believe this hasn't garnered more attention. Great job. I've dabbled in some astrophotography so I know how difficult it can be.

Ha, first time replying to a comment. :P ANYWAY (third try), I work at an observatory, so this is the sort of thing I do for a living. Mostly helping others get shots like this, but occasionally, when I find time, doing a bit myself.
