So it's been awhile...

I'm blaming wonderful Canadian Fall weather for my lack of posting... ;)  Ton's of news lately, among the most pervading: Gliese 581g

Here's what I've been up to, I'll post a few more after processing.  These have all been captured under light polluted skies of Ajax, though much is gained by steady seeing conditions.
