Well finally got a resonably clear night seems like ages since we had any,some light cloud about ,had to beat the moon before it rose but managed a 1hr 40min on a nice galaxy ngc3521 taken with cooled 40d on the 127prostar
Thanks AL

Nice shot there, Alan:)

Try a powermate on it to bump up the image scale, see how that goes:)

Good shot Alan. It is a pretty galaxy and a tempting target now it is rising in the east in a reasonable imaging position.

Very nice result! Round stars and a lot of details in the galaxy. And the colors are nice too.
You don`t have to buy a bigger telescope, make more frames. ;)

Cheers
