Thanks John, never had a Fujifilm camera before, always been Pentax and Canon for me but I like what I'm seeing from this camera.

Great image, too - plenty of depth to the colours, and the star field isn't drowning the nebulae.

Thanks Steve, I was looking for a cheaper alternative to buying an astro camera with a APSC size sensor. This looks like it will do the job well enough for me for the time being.

Thanks David, these two always look nice together and I was pleased to show them off reasonably well with such a short exposure.

Nice pic, heaps of stars nice and sharp, and satisfying I'm sure to capture so much nebulosity as well.

Thanks Anthony, I'm pretty happy with the result and am looking forward to having another go at M31 using it on the Esprit 100 in the coming weeks ahead.
