It occurs to me that the time may not be far off, with SpaceX trying to drive down launch-costs, that some entrepreneur might launch a telescope and offer buffs such as you, for a fee, some telescope time. Could happen...
The scope is an older 10” Schmidt Cassegrain, set onto a equatorial mount, with supporting pier sunk into about 1500 lbs of concrete for stability. The scope control/imaging can be remotely operated if desired. A 60D camera was used at prime focus using a focal reducer in the optical train, with LP filters, @ISO800. The image data was a series of 60 raw exposures @ x35 seconds each. All data was processed, calibrated, stacked and combined in DSS software. More data should have been obtained, ie, 250 raws instead of 60, among other changes. Other than the scope drive/tracking, no other guiding was performed, which explains some drifting. Thanks for the kind words.
