lol, i had to pick a really bad night for my first light didnt I! :lol:

oh well, never mind. the large joop and the moon were my toucam shots taken in about 2-3/10 seeing (horrid, ask matty), and the small joop is just a reworked lpi shot from good seeing.... wish i had that last night :(

the moon is slightly over processed tho, i realise that. it can be fixed but i couldnt be bothered atm :P

Onya Davo! :)

"Seeing"... or lack of it, has been a right-royal PITA these past few days. I was looking forward to doing some more tonight and ... well... the clouds have already rolled in....

AARRGGHhhhhhh!!! :doh:

I would suggest that your work will quickly escalate to the very top of the heap, as a Toucam extraordinaire :thumbsup:
