Agreed - nice work Jeanette.
Good reward for a "hard" nights work...

[Alchemy]

amazing how deep you can go with short subs

hmmm 1 hr 28 divided by 192 =30 secs ish

Excellent JJJ. Seems to have been a good night all round.

Cheers Petra d.

[jjjnettie]

If it's clear again tonight I'll definitely keep adding to the total.

Well done JJJ!

Definitely looks the goods! I like the colour and the extension of the arms! I look forward to seeing it with more subs added!

why did I have to go out last night, I would have been happy enough staying out under the stars at home. Although the view this morning of Jupiter the moon and Venus where stunning. Anyway.

That a good shot from the setup, and committed with the exposure, and still want more.

[jjjnettie]

Thanks.
I'm sure you can put a few hours in tonight Ash.
Watching the Emu rise during the course of the evening is what I like the best about this time of year.

[vash]

yeah, I saw that as I was going out, I knew I was going to miss out on a good night, when I got home at about 4am I could easily make out lagoon M7 and a few dark lanes even with the moon about, then the sensor light came on and blinded me.

[AlexN]

Yeah it was REALLY clear here friday/saturday night.. I was able to see the emu from my house which is pretty rare! :) Omega Cent. was easily visible to the naked eye.. Great night indeed! :)

Good job JJJ. That little tower is working well for you.

I never get tired of seeing M83 images.

Another lovely image there JJJ.

The colour looks really nice inn the spiral arms.

One quiestion iof I may.
Is the Ioptron cube and Tower of terror an alt-az, or is it like a wedge set-up ?
cheers

Nice M33 image JJJ ----- A head turner.
Cheers Kev.

[jjjnettie]

They're both Alt Azi mounts.
Though I'm hoping to eventually wedge up the MT so I can use it to it's full potential.

Great photo for the ALT/Az mount. You've worked hard to get it as good as it is. Well done Jeanette - looking forward to your next shot.
