This has been one of the hottest Summers that I've had here in the SE over a month of oppressive ,volcanic heat and humidity from what is called a" Bermuda high".

That looks like a great shot to me Ronnie.
Better than I've managed...

Bermuda High, when ever we get a high pressure that stalls here this time of year it gets insufferable hot.
We've had a bunch of 100 + high temps. 106.6 degrees yesterday at school let out time. Blah! (By my weather station. School thermometer said 108)
Oh, but it's a dry heat.... 12% humidity right now.
Makes me fart dust.

That is a great shot SB. So much better than I've been able to get.

Thanks Buddy's I try really hard over and over until I get it right, that was taken with my Levenhuk T510NG color digital w/ a 10mm extension attached to a 5x TV powermate . I really don't much care for the 10mm extension but, problem soon to be solved. I hope that the T -ring arrives before Mars and Saturn are out of my fov and in the trees. Then it's game on , 5x straight to the cam and POW !, image scale and detail will be awesome. I also tried guiding on m31 last night cooler due to the cold front moving in and West step in phd was in the 40's and 50's fail , st4 has a clip busted off and I guess the electrical tape fix isn't holding it, that's causing phd2 to stop talking to the mount . ST4 is on the way by Pack mule , my CNA is just awesome for getting me those so I can get better at what I do.

Well, I found that the Tring wont fit the T510NG but, it goes on my other cam so that's a good thing. Mars and Saturn have gone past the point of no return till next year . So I've got all Fall and Winter to get my cam ready to "Rock n Roll".

Sonny, the dust is not from a lack of humidity. It's because you're old...

I may be getting older, but I refuse to grow up.
