Using this to test new printer. Black and white picture, or near enough, to test my new B&W laser printer.

The camera is indeed a nice piece of equiment but the fact that the image was taken with $7000+ worth of optics also plays it's part in making it a damn sharp picture.

btw. I don't own the thing, I can borrow the telescope to play around with.

And, this is a great picture for testing your printer but notice that there is indeed color in the picture... I'm getting it print on A3 format one of these days.
