Incredible!! I always knew you were a space case, but these photos confirm it.

Awesome pictures, Ken! Keep them coming! Kevan and I are going to Philmont Scout Ranch this summer -- Yesterday, we picked an itinerary that has an astronomy activity at one of the camping spots. We wish you could be our guide!

Ken, Nice to see your M42 up here. Hope you dont mind, but I "Borrowed" it for the background on my work computer. got rid of the M42 I took, it just doesnt compare to yours! Take Care, and hope to see ya soon!

Ken, these are amazing pics! I like the heart nebula, is it gas or radiation or what that makes it seem to glow red? Anyway, great pics, we took the kids to the science center on saturday, next time I'm carting them off to your place for an astronomy lesson instead!

Hi Ken, may I post your image of Comet Holmes on my site? It is the most representative view of the comet as seen in my 36" scope. That brilliant teal color is not in most of the photos when I googled it. Thanks, Steven.

Every time I look at these I see another one that I think is my favorite. Hard to say. They are all great. Cant wait to see what your new equipment will bring.

Nice! I've just started experimenting with my MX7C and the SXV guidehead. I'm out in Gold Canyon, so I've got less light pollution than you (nyah nyah!) but I haven't been able to produce images anywhere near yours.
