Thanks Jase, yeah the fast scope is a boon in Melbourne, but also picks up the LP pretty well. I was surprised at how well it came out of the murk with 5 minute subs, I ended up with 10 minute sub though.

It would be a pity to stop now.
Yes Peter, you sold me a nice camera! Thanks for the encouragement. I have a slight tilt in the system which I may fix one day.

I LOVE the fact the stars are all retained (a pet peeve is star-removed fields - I ask WHY????), the absolute sharpness and the fidelity. Keep going, and don't make it neon red or krypton blue in the RGB final image
Thanks Lewis, hopefully you'll see a better example when I finish it. I'll make sure I do a lurid colour versions for you...

Starless as well.

Cheers
Stuart
