Thanks all. Isn't it ironoc that Monday night turned out to be one of those absolute pearlers - so much so that I didn't get to bed until about 5 a.m.. I just kept getting whacked with great sights and to top it all off, who should come marching over the hiils to the east but our old mate M42 and all his cohort. So I managed to get my images of 31, 33, 42, and to top it off, got 57, the Tarantula and ... nope that was it. But a great list of sights I'd been waiting for for ages - all in one night.
So excited by all this, I went over again tonight and decided to do a hard one and tried the Saturn Nebula - elusive little blighter it turned out to be. I set up a 4-hour process of 10 minute subs and went to bed. It's now 2 a.m. and I've just processed all those hours of nothing. Got some lovely proof that my tracking works but my aim doesn't - not so well anyway.
Ah well, dem's the breaks.
See you all soon, somewhere.
Peter
