Snake Valley was my first opportunity to use the recently purchased Vixen ED80 and HEQ5Pro (purchased off ice in space). Thanks to all those that assisted me in getting it set up and those that offered words of encourgaement.

Here my first real astrophotography results. Apart from the star trails all the others were taken using a Minolta SRT 101B film (!) camera mounted to the top of the scope using a 1/4" bolt that Daniel had in the back of the ute.

I realise that aren't the greatest but I am totally stoked with them. So rapt to have got some tracking happening.

Thanks again to the helpful folk over the weekend. And thanks to the rest of you for looking

cheers,
