What will be your next galaxy target?
Gooood question ...... depends on a number of factors but with Pisces Austrinus, Pavo and Grus all becoming favourable, shouldn't be short of targets

Fantastic stuff.
Cheers, yes so far things are panning out with the new camera gear, the first 16 months with this scope had me worried it wasn't capable of truly high res but I always suspected it was just the seeing at my former location and now I know it was just so bad at Newcastle it did have me worried....

Hmm?..I thought the detail was already pretty decent ...but I agree, while the seeing was ok for this session, during the testing phase I have seen it better from inside the dome, so I know I have to get lucky eventually
