Almost forgot about this one. I thought it came out quite nicely. Taken in the almost completed observatory. ;)

For once the moon was a great help illuminating the scope. :)

Thanks for looking.

:thumbsup:

Thats very nice indeed Matt!!! I'd love to have a shot of my setup like that... Must remember to give it a go next time I get a chance.

Wonderful image:eyepop:The colour of the tube nicely reflected onto the mount.
Inspired me to take similar shot of my own setup.

Man, that induced the classic feelings that go with the anticipation of a night under the stars very well :sadeyes:...feelings that I seem to have little of these days mind you :doh:. I looked very longingly at this photo, thanks...

Must be a setup If all was setup you wouldn't be able to see orion through the tangle of wires. LOL.

Nice image Matt. The Obs is looking good.

Wow Matt, that shot is terrific!!

The unfinished timberwork adds a nice touch to the sky.

Nice.

Unreal shot Matty giving the image a double astronomical feel.
I like also how the focus can be short and also infinity.
Cheers Kev.
