Description

This is another old image from the archives.  This is probably the first image I took with my then new RC Optical Systems 10" f/9 and a new SBIG ST-10 XME that I bought to go along with it.

The photons were captured on September 4-5, 2005 at Grandview Campground at 8700 feet in the White Mountains just east of Bishop and Big Pine, California:
- luminance -> 18 x 360 seconds -> 1.8 hours
- red -> 6 x 360 seconds
- green -> 6 x 360 seconds
- blue -> 6 x 360 seconds

There are multiple stars where you can see evidence of my attempts to remove the blooming spikes from the NABG CCD used in the ST-10.
