Thanks for taking time

HI - thanks to those that took the time to view and to comment.

The image is my first attempt at using Photo Shop so processing is minimal - I agree there is some star bloat but it was blowing a howling nor wester at the time and outside temp was 17 deg C - FWHM was 5.7 - (All our hot disturbed air comes from Aussie) - My usual weapon of choice is a C9.25 with a W/O 0.8 Focal Reducer but this time I used a Skywatcher Pro 100ED.

Not that I am blaming the scope - optically its excellent - so much so I've just bought its bigger cousin the SW120ED from Andrews Comms - it should be here soon hopefully.

Thanks
Geof
