To say I'm happy with it so far would be a gross understatement, shame I can't say the same for the clouds!

This is just a single image taken on my 5DmkII.

great start. I have had my eye on one of those for a little while. So close to pulling the pin on one. :)
Looking forward to seeing some more images :)

If you took a single image - how long was it for? I am curious...

Hi Hugh,
Yep not bad, the ED80 is a popular scope, bought one earlier this year and so far very happy with it. But like you it's those clouds that are the biggest problem.
Look forward to seeing more. :thumbsup:

Grant - It was ISO400 and 1/80th of a second exposure.
Thanks Steve, Ken.
Here's another from tonight.
