here's half of the Southern Pleiades, with an ETX 70 and an Atik 1c. If the cloud ever clears I will try and get the other three bright stars and mosaic, but for the moment this is what I got

four 20 second images stacked in registax.Photoshopped and Neated,

(The Atik simply doesnt have a wide enough field of view to capture the whole cluster in one image)

(yes, the penny must have dropped, I am trying to attempt the entire May challenge with an ETX 70 ! ...go the little scopes! I call this my May cruxade-crux being of course the smallest constellation)

I got some really funny looks when I set up my ETX 70 at the SPSP..talk about aperture snobbery..but you know what , so far I have imaged three of the May image challenge objects with the ETX

PS is there any one else in this forum who will admit to owning an ETX 70?
