Gee thanks for the nice comments.
I went to the same spot again this morning, and had clear sky all round.
I set up the 350 on the tripod while i was getting the EQ6 ready and took the first two shots below, first shot is 62 seconds ISO 1600, second shot is 379 seconds ISO 800.
I could actually see the asterism in octans, now that's a first for me, these city lights will never let me see them from my backyard.
Even still, my alignment was out and i only took a couple of prime shots of M42, and Eta, and decided to mount the 350 atop of the 80.
Third pic below is piggy back 90 seconds ISO 1600, Fourth is 120 seconds ISO 1600 piggy back
Fifth pic is 50 seconds ISO 400 on tripod
And the last is 4 secondsISO 800 on tripod
I needed more time to setup and get better alignment, but once the moon set, and i unloaded all my gear, it was 3 am.
I will keep looking for another dark site, as the glow from Melbourne is still way too much in these pics.
Thanks again.
cheers.
