Hey there Sportsgirl! :D Well done! Looks fantastic, a subject group that I haven't had a crack at yet. You've given me some well-needed inspiration I think! :thumbsup: Now... if this Sydney weather would just behave... :rolleyes:

Sweeet shot!

What NGC numbers are they?

Greg.

[trent_julie]

Very nice indeed!

[jjjnettie]

Clockwise from the left, the galaxies pictured are NGC 3628, M65, & M66.

Weather permitting, I'll be adding more data to this tonight.

Chris (omaroo) gave me some very good advice that seems to have fixed my problem. Seems it's been a balance problem all along. The scope being too well balanced, the motors needed just a little bit of resistance to work properly.

Thanks for looking.

Thanks for posting JJJ - its a nice shot of the trio. There is a lot of detail in the galaxies and it looks like the mount is tracking nicely.
