TEC APO 140 and Nikon D50

TEC APO 140 and Nikon D50, modified by LifePixel 23-Jan-2007. IR filter removed and replaced by a full spectrum filter. Astrophotos taken with a pre-set measured white balance using an 18% digital gray card. Daytime photography enabled using an X-Nite CC1 color correction filter from MaxMax.com. Upgraded mount to a Losmandy G11 w/Gemini 15-Feb-2007 (from a CI700). All images taken after 01-Mar-2007 were guided using CCD-Labs' Q-Guide autoguiding camera and Dr. Craig Stark's PHD Guiding. September, 2007 - tested the AP CCDT67 focal reducer.
Update: 14-Jan-2008 - Replaced the Astro-Physics CCDT67 focal reducer with their 27TVPH .75x telecompressor.
