Snake Valley Panoramas

Thanks to all of you who worked to make this weekend a great time. I learnt stuff in two days that would have taken a lot longer here at home. Thanks Daniel and Martin for all your assistance with getting up and going with my imaging equipment ans software.

Thanks to Ken's boys, Jake and Aaron for spending time with Emiel(my son) he had a fantastic time.

Thanks to Dave Tuc47 for a great evening on the friday of observing, I discovered a couple of new(to me) and interesting galaxies and globular clusters.

I've attached a couple of panoramas of the campsite and dam.

Also after discovering a bent bolt on my EQ6 I carried out a repair this morning with some replacement parts from our local nuts and bolts shop. Picture attached. Fortunately only half of the interior thread in the hole was torn out after removal so the replacement had sufficient to thread onto.(phew).

cheers

Michael
