What can I say?? I'm squeezing this camera for all it's worth, & this is about it's maximum capability on this subject I reckon..You may commence laughing! :rofl: :D :thumbsup:

[davidpretorius]

i am at your level of imagery, so i think it is good!

John you got the Trap! thats good mate,how long is the exposure? when I look at It can't help thinking there is something else there that a contrast stretch might bring out.
Keep working It and have fun !

Louie :thumbsup: :)

Thanks Dave & Louie..3 seconds handheld. I'm a lazy bugger, I've got the bracket to hold the camera to the scope & the drive on the scope (refractor with this shot) But what do I do!? I don't use either! Go figure. I think I prefer to just point & shoot 50 odd frames & see what I get. I'm weird I think. Given a choice out of an easy or a hard way, I'll take the hard way cos' I can't resist a challenge!! (If no one challenges me, I'll challenge myself).....Reminds me of the days when I used to shoot thru the 8" newt with a box brownie when I was 14 lol..My dad challenged me to that one.

That aint' bad ving! I've seen worse..(like on my puter in a folder named 'asimovs crappiest shots ever') 350 odd shots in that folder, lol!

I may have to scan up some box brownie pics & post for you guys to 'wonder at':D :rofl:

[davidpretorius]

my offer still stands for you to have your own little site on the web with all your shots if you want!!!

[cometcatcher]

You guys should be congratulated for making the best with the equipment on hand. But I would like to see some box brownie pics through a 60mm refractor. :)

Thanks Dave! Last night I very nearly took some AVIs of DSOs thinking of uploading them to you, yes. I dropped the idea though, thinking that I was probably wasting my time in this area with this camera. One never knows though...It might just work (test pending)
