Finally! After months of waiting I was lucky enough to have my first completely clear night on sunday night

Still working on a M42 (I would love to talk to someone how to incorperate shorter exposures using photoshop or similar? I have 5, 2 and 1/2 minute images I want to make into one to account for the blowout in the 5 minute shot ect ect)

But I managed to get a fantastic view of NGC3372 the marvilous Eta Carina though so decided to go for the 1 hour total exposure time. 10 x 6 minute subs @ ISO 1600. I took 5 dark frames with it made the image look very nice. Taken on the 27/02 - 28/02

Tonight was spectacular though until the clouds came in as predicted at about 12:30 - 1 I haven't been able to process any data from tonight but i eagerly await beaufifying it I went for the virgo cluster after i saw JJ's pic on facebook It was a great image JJ! Managed to get 8 of the 10 6 minute subs due to the clouds coming in. Should be finished tomorrow but for now Eta Carina!
Getting There Casy
Must be all that Cyclonic weather you are getting at Mapleton
Cheers
