eclipse:

It was taken on a Nikon D70 with a TMB 175 apo refractor.

Wow! That's a keeper.

Thanks.

No kidding, nice job Mark!

Thanks.

Here's a shot of M57 I did a couple months back:

The main problem I have with shots like this is light pollution. If I go
long enough to make the central star easy to see, the background starts to
wash out.

But taking these photos while listening to my "portable" 7030+ is fun.

Also, for those interested in tuning in Jupiter on their shortwave radios,
here's a link with information. I suspect most of us have better radios than
the kit they offer:
