Hi all,

About a month ago Paul F and a few people went to Frosty Drew. Paul F with Dan S encouragement decided to shoot a few images. These are the images he took.

M17

I believe this might be M21

This is an image of the Milky Way.

Finally Comet E2 Jacques with the Garnet Star.

Wow, great stuff Paul F!

Too bad, you are in for it now since you've been bitten by the astro photography bug.

Well Borg, now you've done it. The club will now add you to the list of members who are attempting astrophotography which, as many of us know, is one of the most frustrating yet rewarding aspects of astronomy! Welcome to the madness and very nice pics!

Also, at next Stellafane, you will have to give up your spot way up on top of the hill and join all the cussin going on down at the bottom of the hill where all the imagers set up. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

I'll get you off the late hook Tom, by posting even later.
Great images Paul F.! I'm really jealous of the Comet Jacques/Garnet Star Image.
I think I'll start sketching instead of imaging. wah, wah, wah! :cry:
You've got a good mentor in Paul D!
