[RobF (Rob)]

Agreed - nice work Jeanette.
Good reward for a "hard" nights work...

[Alchemy (Clive)]

amazing how deep you can go with short subs

hmmm 1 hr 28 divided by 192 =30 secs ish

[spacezebra (Petra)]

Excellent JJJ. Seems to have been a good night all round.

Cheers Petra d.

[jjjnettie (Jeanette)]

If it's clear again tonight I'll definitely keep adding to the total.

Well done JJJ!

Definitely looks the goods! I like the colour and the extension of the arms! I look forward to seeing it with more subs added!

why did I have to go out last night, I would have been happy enough staying out under the stars at home. Although the view this morning of Jupiter the moon and Venus where stunning. Anyway.

That a good shot from the setup, and committed with the exposure, and still want more.

[jjjnettie (Jeanette)]

Thanks.
I'm sure you can put a few hours in tonight Ash.
Watching the Emu rise during the course of the evening is what I like the best about this time of year.

[vash (Ashley)]

yeah, I saw that as I was going out, I knew I was going to miss out on a good night, when I got home at about 4am I could easily make out lagoon M7 and a few dark lanes even with the moon about, then the sensor light came on and blinded me.

[AlexN]

Yeah it was REALLY clear here friday/saturday night.. I was able to see the emu from my house which is pretty rare! Omega Cent. was easily visible to the naked eye.. Great night indeed!

Good job JJJ. That little tower is working well for you.

I never get tired of seeing M83 images.

[Inmykombi (Geoff)]

Another lovely image there JJJ.

The colour looks really nice inn the spiral arms.

One quiestion iof I may.
Is the Ioptron cube and Tower of terror an alt-az, or is it like a wedge set-up ?
cheers
Geoffro.

Nice M33 image JJJ ----- A head turner.
Cheers Kev.

[jjjnettie (Jeanette)]

They're both Alt Azi mounts.
Though I'm hoping to eventually wedge up the MT so I can use it to it's full potential.

Great photo for the ALT/Az mount. You've worked hard to get it as good as it is. Well done Jeanette - looking forward to your next shot.
