<DIV>I agree. I've been moderately successful in my backyard, but success is relative :). I attached a few shots I have done with a modified canon 40D. They were taken with a 12" LX @ F10. I do use a Hutech LPS filter which helps. I'm going to spend a couple of weeks at Bryce Canyon in May so I'm hoping to get my rig mobile to take advantage of the dark skies. </DIV>
