My 18-inch Dobsonian is ready for observing on a clear September evening. The Sagittarius teapot and Milky Way are seen to the right of the telescope, and lower in the sky is the C-shaped constellantion Corona Australis.

Image details:  30-second exposure at ISO 1600, taken with a Canon 400D camera.  Image processing with ImagesPlus and Photoshop.
