Hi Everyone,

Normally, while I'm shooting my film based schmidt camera up at the
observatory, we have another camera as the evenings back up camera shooting
about the same part of the sky while the mount is tracking.  In the next few
weeks, you will see the fruit of that schmidt shooting displayed.  For now,
here is a shot taken of the tail of Scorpius with the Canon 10d we use as
our second system:

Shooting piggyback with this camera is just like shooting a film camera, it
has the same feel and many of you I hope will consider supplementing your
shooting sessions with this amusing backup system!
