Glad you liked Mark - I think we left a bit early to see you this year

Yes, and I wouldn't have stopped down this far or gone to 10min subs without your help either JJJ - thanks for the advice
I'm still to work on the other 5mins Miky Way shots taken earlier in the week as expecting more than the usual mosaic pain, but will be interesting to see how the stars are affected/tightened. Always stuff to learn when you try something different isn't there....

Yeah, I was down in the dumps a bit Robin at the time, but I've never got around to trying decent widefield until recently. Hopefully Theo has her working now - get to find out later this week. I'm just glad I took the 450 and some dew control too. Thanks to Tony and JJJ for helping with spare batteries and power too....

That's a beautiful shot, well done

As Robin said there was a reason you didn't have the QHY. You must get the "Nifty Fifty" out more often

Yes, I hadn't planned to do more than an hr or two of widefield originally Geoff. Thank goodness I took a hard look at my early data though. It would have been a shock to get home with a week of dodgey data.

I've also got a lot of additional newly found respect for JJJ, Marc, Bert and other widefield masters that make it all look so damned easy too..
