Hi everyone,

That's a cracker of a shot, especially when you consider the short subs. :D

Thanks JJ

I have rather dark skies at home Jen, but there is a nasty street light in the front. The house shadows the light which is enough to get some good images.
I am about to enter into autoguiding, just need a good night to practice.

regards Paul. :)

A great photo Paul.

Smooth, sharp and deatiled.

You are so lucky. I have to drive 6 hours to get to a backyard like yours.

Good luck.

Ross.
