Bigga NSW. A huge town of a general store, a pub and a community hall. On the way between Crookwell and Cowra.

That FOV is the largest you can get from a telescope/camera combo currently on the market with at least 100mm of aperture that I am aware of.

Thanks Steve. I may have some Ha from an earlier time somewhere. I'll check it out.

Thanks Marc.
LOL, Yes I had my fill didn't I? Yum. Especially when 3 of the nights were excellent seeing as well. I levelled the NJP (its pretty close and I don't normally -3mm off) and I got incredible autoguiding as well. Guide errors often 0.0 and often less than 0.05. Best accuracy ever with that mount.

Greg.
