Nice image Axel.  The colors seem to have come out well and guiding
looks good too.

I can't be absolutely certain at web resolution but it appears that your
R200SS also shows a small amount of coma (in the extreme corners)
just like mine.  It's a nice little scope nevertheless.

How do you take all your stuff to South Africa?  By air freight?

Hi all,

here is another 3-image stack from my recent South Africa/Namibia trip:

http://canopus.physik.uni-potsdam.de/~axm/photo.cgi?Image=images/ic2948

This nebula is located 7° SE of the famous Eta Carinae nebula. Guiding was
done with my Super Polaris DX mount and an ST-4 autoguider. Making them
work together took a lot of practice due to the large Dec backlash, but
towards the end of my trip I had gradually learned to tame them!

Clear skies,

Axel
