Show us how F5.6 goes

Thanks Mike - really nice 'old-school' pics by the way!

Interesting you should mention Comet Halley as the mount I used for this (& almost all my images) is the trusty old Vixen SP I purchased back in 1985 so that I could take pictures of Comet Halley! Sadly I've lost access to the original slides of the ones I took (I still have some prints) and 20-odd years of not doing much astro means I virtually went back to being a beginner.
