Well, nothing to the standards displayed in this forum section really :ashamed:..buuut it kinda shows the feelings I had on the night while my imaging gear chugged away, for over 17hrs in the end, staring at one spot :P

Nice ones Mike..... and good job with the light painting. I always find it hard to wrap my head around writing backwards for that sort of thing. S always gets me.

17hrs nudging the dome - that's hard core!

Thanks Greg :thumbsup: the likes of you must smile when you see the piddly amateur efforts of mere mortals in this skyscape gig :lol:



Oh yes, to the west and North it looks amaaaazing :thumbsup:



:lol: well a-c-t-u-a-l-l-y, at a dec of -31deg it tracked vertically for much of the time so dome nudges were much less necessary, even managed 45min kips in between :D :thumbsup:

Nice shots for a widefield amateur, Mike :D :thumbsup:

[strongmanmike]

:rolleyes: Mate!!! it took me about 7 ot 8 tries, running back and forth from the camera to the dome in the dark, dropped the torch, tripped over some irrigation pipe hidden in the grass and my writing ran into the dome twice :lol:



Yes need more practice... and a new wide angle lens :question:
