  • This is one of the images I took with the WTTM imager (withought using WTTM though) on March 23, 2003. The seeing was 0.3'' in z, in a moonless, perfectly clear night! Only two colors were obtained (z and B); the processing was done by George Jacoby. The result is fabulous! A high resolution version of it can be found at the NOAO image gallery:

  • This is one of the WOCS clusters I was studying for variability. This picture was taken by my REU students and myself during the summer 2003 observing run with the WIYN 0.9m/S2KB CCD at Kitt Peak Arizona.
