This is my scope, which I have to use special filters due to the fact there is so much artificial light flooding the atmosphere above CA, it completely washes out the night sky for human eyes, and for imaging.

Shot this recently, using CLS filters...

M27 Planetely Nebula, about 1360 light years from earth. It's basically a star, where it's outer shell blew off....

M27 Taken 9/4/2010 19x135second ISO 800 Total exposure 42 minutes 45 seconds, 6.3focal reducer--Canon 40D

I guess this makes me a Communist and socialist ..

Nice!

While we’re on the subject of hobbies only available to decadent Capitalists, I have a question for you: How well to the batteries hold up in digital cameras like yours when taking astrophotos? Years ago, I remember looking for a 35mm SLR with a mirror hold-up lever to avoid draining the battery during long exposures.

You should use that “scope” to look up your rectum to see if you have any brains.
