Gees mate do you ever sleep :lol: or is it now totally automated, well done, I like it, but I would never be game to shoot at 1600 ISO :scared: in this bloody heat. :whistle:

Good one Doug.

Beat me to it! Been collecting some data over the weeks but only did some 800ISO shots last night and processed today. Always surprises me how much you manage to capture with that rig.

And Leon's right - when do you sleep!

Nice one Doug. A bit better focus than I could manage. Something up the poop in my imaging train.
Looks a little on the purple side on this work monitor. (Maybe just this monitor.)

Looking forward to your version Craig - nice object for the Tak/Reducer combo. Sweet!!!



Cheers Doug - let me know if you still think it's too purple on your home comp.:thumbsup:

Hey Doug, (Hager Doug I mean) tell them to get their act together, :whistle: how is a bloke expected to see quality image on crap work monitors, :shrug: make them install good astro visuals. :lol: :lol: :lol: when at work.:D

Ahhrrr, I don't know Doug. I think you were making good headway with the witch. At 280mm you've nailed the rose nicely. Well done.
