18 minutes of total exposure

Glad you like it lol.

Now, I have to say this preliminary scope test using a DSLR and not guided delights me - the colour seems good, the contrast good, the sharpness good.

Yes, my CLP filter is on it's way - give me a break, I live 500 meters from Canberra Airport so my sky is...rather....polluted I am not going NB again...no...no....maybe...

So, as the song says, Things...can only get better...
