Impressive. You must live in the mountains. Here in Socorro, NM, New Mexico Tech has a small observatory. The air is clear here and not a lot of light polution. I'm astronomically illiterate, but I got a real good look at one of the comets and was impressed.

That's one of the reasons I am going to go CCD digital, as with film one would have to track an object for up to 60 minutes or more for a film exposure, but with CCD imaging, it only takes about 100 seconds, thus avoiding the fogging effects created by light pollution on film, plus it avoids any tracking errors.
