Thanks mate Yeah, my last decent effort where I was super happy with the result was at ISO 800 with 10min subs for my Canon 600D. Hoping to try that again at new Moon

I was using the wedge at the time, however I'd imagine with only 90sec subs it probably wasn't necessary... It's just my default setup these days, takes a litter longer though

Must be enjoying the good dark skies out your way, and I assume you have rebuilt your absco obs
Good going !!
Cheers Bob The dark nights are great, I'm super grateful that I can manage 10min subs with my DSLR. Can't wait for the cooler weather to begin. Sorry, no absco obs for me just yet, you may be confusing me with someone else? . Not to say I haven't considered it mind you

Cheers Brent Yeah, can't wait to revisit the area again soon. Pretty humbling to know we're a part of that cluster .
