thanks
Thanks Jeanette, Matt and Peter,
Not sure how much difference the extra sensitivity of the GStar CCD makes, but I will keep all of this info in mind. Enjoyed reading your article Jeanette. It all might just tempt me to start imaging a little sooner.
I had a great night's viewing last week here in Alice Springs: the night time temperature was mild (about 15 whereas it is normally 4 or 5 later in the winter evenings) and my polar alignment was perfect for once. Super sharp views of the Trifid and Lagoon Nebulae, Centaurus A and various other galaxies brought out more detail than I had ever seen before.
Cheers
Andrew
