Introducing the "FWHM Imaging Forum"

All About Astro.com has developed a partnership with CCD imager extraordinaire, Matt Russell, to provide the public with a new imaging forum.  As the name implies, it will serve primarily the more experienced imager (in all media types) with intermediate to advanced issues; however, we don't want to discourage even beginning imagers from participating.

 The new FWHM Imaging Forum will soon be your best source for expert advice from experienced imagers!

Matt hosts the forum at his website, so be sure to join us at:   www.telescopes.cc/forums
