I did but they were all rushed in at the end. My main objective was the Leo Triplet which I spent most of the time on.

You continue to produce Mickoid, amazing pictures and all from one night as Rick said......great effort.
There is only one reason I got in to this hobby and that was because I spent a freezing night (did someone say snow?) watching you do your stuff and then saw the results you produce.

Thanks Jon, you'll soon be churning out amazing stuff once you sort out all your equipment. Saturday night was a complete opposite to the night we had last winter. Now that was COLD! No noise problems to worry about then!

Thanks Alex, they are so distant and large, it's hard to get your head around what you're actually photographing.

Well that makes sense Ben because I punched in M86 on the GOTO. How did yours turn out?

Yes Peter, a very reliable and versatile model. Just wish it had an articulated LED screen.

The Carina image shows up nice with lots of rich colour to highlight its beauty too, well done there. You must be keen to get out there again I bet having seen whats possible for the Virgo Cluster - That looks very interesting, put some time into that one and I'm sure it will come up a treat.
Inspiring astro shots Mick, we're all getting itchy feet no doubt seeing the results you've managed here, keep up your outstanding work.

Thank you Anthony, glad you like them, I had my challenges this night but that's what I like about my set up. Simplicity and trying to get the most out of what you have.
I may try the Virgo Cluster when the weather cools down. Those itchy feet don't last long for you Anthony, you've popped on some crackers here recently. You inspire me!
