1. Pentax K-1000, projection from 18-mm eyepiece on Criterion RV-6 (6", f/8 Newtonian). Kodak 400, 6 seconds clockdriven ("hat trick"). west at top, south at right. Digitized from negative using Snappy 3.0 and 8-mm camcorder. My best image showing the multiple "shells" so easily seen by eye with small telescopes at medium magnification.
2. Pentax K-1000, projection from 40-mm eyepiece on Criterion RV-6 (6", f/8 Newtonian). Kodak 400, 3 seconds clockdriven ("hat trick"). west at top, south at right. Digitized from negative using Snappy 3.0 and 8-mm camcorder. If I'd know that these RV-6 images were turning out so well I would have tried for some longer exposures!
3. Kodak 400, 60 seconds piggyback on clockdriven Criterion RV-6. Digitized from negative using Snappy 3.0 and 8-mm camcorder
