Very frustrating evening as the wind started at dusk and never stopped. Lucky to grab this as I was about to give it away, seeing went bad soon after. The locals call me lucky Phil which certainly work for me last night.

Regards, phil.

Good one. :thumbsup: Great detail and nicely lit - very natural looking.

How are you finding the ASI174MM camera?

Thanks Hugh, teasing out the fine detail is an art which I'm still learning

Cheers DarkArts, with the ASI174MM I need a bit more magnification than the ASI120MM plus the ASI174MM has much less noise so processing is easier especially in good seeing. I hope to do some direct comparisons if I get a consistent seeing period long enough to do several RGB with each.

another excellent one Phil. I think Damian Peach has started using the ASI174MM too and is very pleased with its performance. I am reluctant to buy one myself for now, want to stretch the QHY5L-II to the limit. But my birthday is in July, might have to treat myself :P.
