Hi All,
Had a chance to take a few images from Golden Grove last Friday night.
I first did the Jewel Box, which I did on my last session but it was out of focus. I made a mod to the LX200R and the focus control is heaps better now.

I still am not happy with this one, althou it looks like what you see thru the eyepiece, it needs to be more like the out of focus one with some more exposure.

Better than my first attemp, but looking at some of your posts, I have a long way to go yet. This is my first Galaxy image !

Not sure what went wrong here, maybe my unmodified 20D is can't get enougth
H-alpha photons,. I will need to redo this one and add a focal reducer to widen the FOV.
I need to work on my image processing skills as the process used are sometimes quite diferent to normal daytime digital photography.
Thanks for looking and for any coments
Chris
