Yep Trevor I agree.... nothing like getting the scope out in ure shorts late arvo...set it up and away you go. I was expecting a good six hours but ended up doing 12...um not that I got any good shots but I was just trying out my new QHY-5 as a guider.
BTW in the second pic..is that a meteorite or an Irridium flare?
The third pic has a meteorite in it!!!! wicked!!!
And yes poor effort on M42......not processed though ....bad focus etc etc
Like I said just testing
IN CLEAR SKIES








no

just

and clear
sorry just jumping on the bandwagon
