G'day all,
It's been a month of little activity for me, both on the forum and in my observatory. I didn't walk in to my observatory for at least 20 days straight!
Just haven't felt like it.
But, last night a friend was keen to piggyback his Pentax on my LX200 to try some shots with it. That got me started with a few photo's of my own. It's very rare I piggyback my 350D on my LX200, but I REALLY REALLY REALLY should. Every time I'm happy with the results. So easy! I can do 5 min, 10 min, 20 min, 40 min exposures no problem. Having the LX and obs all setup makes it so much easier than out in the field where I normally use the 350D. I think I must just be a sucker for punishment doing it out in the field!
Anyhow, here's my pic from the night. It's slightly out of focus but still pretty good. Focus problem is noticed at 70% original size. The versions on my site don't show it.
Full details:
on my site
See you in another 20 days perhaps
Comments/critiques are welcome.
Roger.
PS, you might hear from me again soon, I took a bunch of nice wide field shots on the 26th April out in the country which I still haven't finalised and uploaded
