Nice one Jen ....:thumbsup: probably some where after 3am in the morning for this ... am I right. :hi:

Flash. :D

[OzRob]

There is no way I would be up at that time in the morning...:D Nice pic and I can't beleive it is that time of the year already!

[RickS]

Nice pic, JJJ. I'm sure we'll see plenty more.

[jjjnettie]

I took my last light frame at 3am. Then left the camera to do it's thing taking darks while I went to bed.
If it wasn't for the clouds I would have kept on shooting.
LOL As it turned out, I'd forgotten to switch the camera back to Raw..... :rolleyes: again. So just as well I suppose.
Thanks for looking and I'm glad you liked it. :)

[mishku]

Nice one JJJ. :thumbsup: I've been itching to image this one as well at BSG. I have one shot of it starting in the trees branches.

[Alchemy]

No sooner does the scorpion go and Orion is back, I normally don't comment on m42.... But being as it's the first for the season I can make an exception .
Well done.

[jjjnettie]

Yes, taken with the ED80.
The new scope is a 200mm F4 newt. It will be for visual, and I'll mount it on the Mini Tower.
LOL But I do have my eye on a WO 120mm and QHY10. Hope to order them both in a few weeks.

Nice one JJJ. Weather down here hasn't been so good recently so nothing to show since astrofest.

On another topic finally got through season 3 of BBT! Season 4 DVD is out soon!

[naskies]

Nice! Love the colours. Glad you managed to get a peek through those clouds :)

[jjjnettie]

:lol: Good one Pete.

[tornado33]

The colours on that shot look great, just the right amount of greens intermingled with the pinks.
Scott

[jjjnettie]

Thanks Scott.
I just need another 4 or 5 hours of data though, to smooth out that noise eh :rofl:
But I had to post it, cause well, I just had to. :)

[gregbradley]

Very nice JJ.

You were obviously up early to take that one.
