Thanks Tony. Basically, I don't like wasting a clear night, they can be so far and few that any opportunity I have to shoot something, I will. Call me mad if you want, as it was so warm when I shot this at about 1.00am, I was only in shorts, T shirt and thongs. Not the best environment for an uncooled DSLR! I wasn't expecting a masterpiece and really just wanted to see if I could pick this galaxy up in such adverse conditions. I was, for the first time, able to push my unguided subs out to 2 mins, which I'd never done before with the 8 inch f5 Newt. In answer to your question, I won't be adding more data to this one but I would like to start again away from the city lights and compile a lot more data on it, I'm sure the results would be much improved!
