Christmas pressies!

[cometcatcher]

I must have been a good boy this year cos I got heaps of pressies. But this one stands out. It's a full spectrum modified 1100D. But being a Pentax and Nikon user I will have to learn how to fly it! Look out Ha nebula!

My apologies to everyone in Mackay for making it rain. :P

Nice one Kevin it will be interesting to see the results. I have a spare 1100d and a 450d sitting around and have been thinking about having a go at modding one of them.
I got a little 50mm guide scope for xmas so I guess we are both pushing the clouds a bit. looking pretty clear atm but that will invariably change when the sun goes down.

Thanks Rick. Got a few quick 30 second shots between clouds tonight. Just processing them to see what it's like. Very hot though. Air temp is 27c.

Nice one Kevin :thumbsup:

There's just enough space between the sensor and the main circuit board in the 1100D to slip in a cold finger ;)

Needs one too here in the tropics. It's very noisy at 27c.

No astro stuff this year, bought enough during the year to sink a few small ships! But we did get a new Webber BBQ, here it is being christened witha a nice bit of rump steak with cajun rub to go in a warm beef salad for boxing day dinner tonight!

These are the best Mal!
No astro stuff for me either this year, but got a new printer - nothing to be very excited about!

Ya making me hungry lol.

The boy got me a ChromeCast thing. Never heard of them before.
Plugged it into HDMI3 on the amp and the network with a wire.
It lets you sling almost anything to the big amp/tv from your phone or PC.
Magic.
