Hi Folks....

following advice given by this very community i forked out for a zwo 224.

....and of course skies have been crap ever since it arrived:rolleyes:

last night the clouds parted long enough for me to capture this using
the supplied wide angle lens....

Can't wait to have a go at the planets with the 'scope as soon as the sky is still enough!

This is tonights effort.... (around 1.5 hrs of real time)

i used 20 second exposures at the default gain when sharpcap opens (i think the number is "228"?)

cheers,
