Ken Blumberg's Astro-Pics

The pictures below were taken by Ken Blumberg at Wawayanda.  These are more recent (better) shots than those that were up here for a couple of years.

Ken used a Starlight MX7c single shot color CCD camera, 8 inch SCT LX200, PEC corrected, f3.3 Optec focal reducer, processed in Starlight MX7c software, then over to photoshop to contrast/brightness and maybe some cropping.
