WOW! I'm seriously impressed. What telescope are you using? I've been toying with the idea of getting one but I don't want it to end up as a coat rack in a corner somewhere. Top this space geek! ![](http://www.djr04.com/photos/moon_death_star_031314_01.jpg)

Maybe it says something about me that I love all these but the witches broom is by far my favorite

I do have these. ![](https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7510/15498381220_bd2d634114_c.jpg) ![](https://farm1.staticflickr.com/555/20286617139_6fa67c815c_c.jpg) As far as telescopes go, I currently use either my telephoto lens, which the comet photo was taken with, an 80mm f7 APO refractor, and my 8" f4 reflector.

Space seems to be a lot closer to you than it is to me. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

Thanks for all of the kind words everyone ! It's been since June, that I had a decent night to set up, but it was finally clear enough last night. I was a little "rusty" getting everything up and playing nicely together, so I lost a lot of time, but I'm fairly happy with this "updated" version of the Veil Nebula taken with my 8" 'scope. ![](https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5637/21092580890_03d5e611b9_c.jpg)
