They came up really well John. Especially given the higher magnifications you used, well done.

Ted and others: Thanks for comments - the improved optics of my new Meade LX600 10 inch helped give better pics - magnification was about x100. I'll look forward to my next lot of pics and more experimenting. Cheers.
