Howdy all,
Seems like forever since I was here last. Saw the December challenge and thought I'd drop one in from way back in 2002. The second image I ever took with the ST10. Also with the C11 at prime focus. 5 hours worth all up.

Hi Rob, it's good to be back, wish I had more time to hang around but I've just been flat stick lately. I'll try to drop in more often Mike.

Tony, thanks mate. Well done to you too. I'm getting more and more amazed at what these digital cams can do. I will end up getting one eventually. A 20Da I think, one day when I can afford it!

Ian, go for it! I saw it through a 20" Dob a couple of years ago at Astrofest and it was amazing..
