Good job of extracting the star colors from that extreme Plano light pollution, Robert. Bill

Very impressive images, Randy. Bill

Percy, I do remember now that the rings covered about 30 years. You gave a good explanation of the Tak polar scopes. Bill

Beautiful shots, Eric. Bill

Immo, You did a great job handling that star. Bill

Spectacular, Eric. Bill

That's impressive, Lee. Bill

Nicely done, Lee. Bill
