Hi Chris,

Nice Job... Love the first image.. It's so sharp & exposure looks spot on....

Congrats on getting the observatory.. (Beehive) together - Looking forward to the official opening :D

Mars is definitely getting smaller - was that with the X2 or X3...?

Cheers, John

Hi,

The top moon was at prime, clavicus was with a 2x barlow, mars a 3x barlow.

Mike,

I'll get a picture of it and the name will become obvious.

Chris
