Abell 2199, SH 2-27, IC 4592, NGC 5746, M104 from Saratoga

by Jim Solomon

Here are my latest images, many of which are of some fairly obscure targets. Some of these are with an 8" Newtonian, and some are with a Canon EF 200mm f/2.8L II USM lens. All are on a guided AS-GT mount; i.e., that mount which isn't suitable for astrophotography. (See the review in the August issue of Sky & Telescope to decode that tongue-in-cheek quip.)
