Thanks Steve,

One problem is I was spoiled by the week before when I went dark sky. Back in Glebe and the LP leaves me feeling humph............

I am hanging out for Orion, the horsehead, XMAS tree, M42, last time i only had an unmodded 300D, this time

Sure is Ric. Want to try it again with more data as I dont think its complete unless you get the central 'eyeball'.

I think we've all gone through this mate...Its what astrophotographers call character building. Keep at it.
Lol, I've already forgotten about it. Pempro will sort itself out evenually, next time i think i will just use the reticle and grab some good data

Cheers
