You know, this scope and camera are quite a formidable pair, I'm really enjoying them. Compared to the days of packing the car and travelling 40km to Kurri with my whole Starfire kit, with setup and pulldown and all the way back again, at the mercy of the dew and wind etc (wind was only a problem here at Wallaroo though) my imaging has really become rather relaxed and effortless, I do very little cussing these days

Thank you so much for a lovely image of one of my favourite visual targets, to see the otherwise invisible outer shells and some of the detail that is only hinted at when at the eyepiece is a real treat.

That's great to hear Mal funny, I am the other way round, when I am at SPSP each year, which is about the only time I do visual and I am inevitably looking through a 20"+ sized scope, all the objects I look at that I have imaged before blow me away because I have spent hours processing them I can make out so much in the eyepiece, probably more than most can - bit like doing the Hubble or UK Schmidt comparisons I do, I see so much more.
