About this image

I am the proud new owner of the late Ron Arbour's Planewave 17" CDK, mount and camera. It's rather fitting that my first posting to the BAA is of a SuperNova ... Ron would just love that :-)

Bob - Great to see that Ron's equipment is being used for SN imaging! The last time I saw that telescope was when it was in their living room.
