Fantastic image.

Thanks for sharing this. Robert

Thanks Roland. Robert

What about a 12.75 inch f 4.75 Newtonian on an 1100? I also need to have it built as it is now a truss mount dob. It should have a 15 inch tube, about 52 inches long and about 35-40 pounds. The mirror

Thanks Ernie. I appreciate your comments. Robert

Thanks Michael Robert

It is 25 miles from Comanche Springs - 3RF. It has a Texas Tech University Mesonet weather station on the property, which is great to have. The link is below. http://rain.ttu.edu/tech/1-output/singles

I agree. It is not that hard to do and well worth it. Robert

Thanks Christian. I also use a luminance filter and will continue to do so. Robert

Thanks for the confirmation Jim. Robert
