There are just so many stars here, right in the middle of the Milky Way.

Sorry for the late reply: I'm sure I replied earlier but must have forgotten to click "submit".

Well done!

Thanks Mike. Biggest aperture I have used at the dark site and surprised at how much stuff there is out there. Blue stars a bit problematic but they are what they are. I did a crop version at one point. Pleased with the setup as it didn’t miss a beat over several nights.

CFF are the new Astrophysics!

Thanks Greg. Am enjoying using this scope. Easy to collimate and very solid in terms of performance.

I owe Catalin a review, it’s on my pc somewhere.

I'd forgotten about this galaxy so thanks for posting it. Might even be worth a go.

Thanks very much Gents. Mike, I have to admit to doing a teeny weeny bit of decon as the seeing was hit and miss on one night but held it back. I rarely use it and when I do I normally hit the undo button fairly quickly.
