I imaged with the 10 and 12-inch LX-200's at the Florida Imaging Centre using a couple of MX7C cameras. Each scope had an f/3.3 compressor to cut down on the focal length.

There was a lot of cloud in the evening, but the sky cleared after a couple of beers and a DVD movie -- not exactly the most welcome of situations! At dawn I imaged NGC 3132 in Vela which was just 19 degrees above the horizon!

My images of B33 (53x60s) and NGC 1097 (23x60s) -- not shown here -- were topped up later in the run.
