Hello,

Again last new moon I was not able to get away to any dark site.

I haven't seen a good, dark sky since March!

In desperation I attached a Nikon 100mm F2.8 lens and Ha filter onto my QHY9 ccd, set up in my backyard, pointed to Scorpius and Sagittarius and pretended I was in Coonabarabran.

I was pleasantly surprised at the results.

What do you think.

Thanks for looking.

Ross.
