Thanks for the kind words re my efforts Suzy, obviously I did not post the entire memory card full of failed attempts! The photo's are taken through a Celestron Nexstar 8SE, although I am curious to find out what could be taken through the Obsession dob, the moon and bright planets obviously, but I think I may be able to grab very bright deep sky objects if I push the ISO up - may have a go at Omega Centauri. As an example of the slippery slope - I sold my EQ6 on here a while ago (part of the domestic deal to fund the Obsession dob) but after my initial attempts at photos with the Celestron I trotted off to buy an Alt-Az EQ6! and am starting to think about auto guiding. The biggest problem I have found is actually getting anything in shot, using a 8x50 finder it is still very hit and miss. I will carry on though, it is very satisfying when a half decent shot appears. My efforts so far leave my totally awestruck and full of admiration for the wonderful results that other people get.
