SBIG ST-7e Images

The images that follow were obtained with an SBIG ST-7e CCD imager and are larger than most other images on this site. The larger images are nice but also tend to show more defects. These images do not represent the full capabilities of the SBIG ST-7e imager. The night was cloudy on and off and our goal was to get as many images as we could before it completely clouded up. In great haste, we managed to get six images in about two hours. Not too bad in terms of quantity. Quality suffered a bit from the mad rush to beat the clouds, however.

These images were all obtained using a Meade 12" LX200 SC telescope at the Saint Johns University Observatory.
