Great images Sheap,
hope you did well in the maths exam, they were not my favourite when I was at school back in BC (before colour TV) :lol:

Onya Sheap. Nice shots mate. Were they taken through the Thousand Oaks filter?

Hope the exams went well.

it was the thousand oaks filter 1ponders, it worked a treat.
the dark areas you see on those pictures are from how i took the photos, i wouldve used my LPI but my laptops on its last legs and i need a new one before i can use it again.
The exams did go well thanks, im finished now and on holidays for about 4 months (should be able to get the telescope out for a bit during that time) and i wish it was orbital mathematics, thatll come once i start astrophysics proper - it was multivariable calculus
