I had to remove the camera to replace filters on the nose and there's lots of coma. What a pain, but that's it out of the way at last. I'll bring it up next new moon pete unless your in town before that and want to come get it.

This has about 24 x 5 minute Lum binned X1 and 8 each x 100sec RGB binned x2.

All shot from the burbs last Friday night.
I take my hat off, sir!! Your persistence is only exceeded by your good looks!!
