Hi guys and Gals,
It actually cleared up a little last night in the early hours..:)
Really great to see some stars again as the weather has been total c@#$ for ages. Tonight we might be lucky again on the east coast...:D
Well the seeing was horrid but the sky was dark even with the moon already high in the sky.
But that wasn`t going to stop me...
Image is 10 x 3-1/2 min with my 6" newt and modded 300D.
Guided with PHD at 1 sec intervals and stacked in DSS and finished in PS.
Stars a a bit bloated because of the bad seeing but hey it was clear...:thumbsup: and I got a piccy!
Have to redo it in decent seeing.
Thanks for peeking!
cheers Gary

by the looks of those super tight diffraction spikes and round stars i think you beat the seeing.
