and i enjoyed some great viewing.Here is omega cen,it looked better

through the 4 inch refractor,than the photo,but it its ok,thought some

hi Matty

glad you liked the pic,exposure was 133 seconds with canon 300D

on my vixen ED 103 refractor on vixen GP mount unguided,

this scope gives lovely images,i use a naglar 13mm for viewing many objects like this,

cheers Chris:thumbsup:
