Great work though, and I'll look forward to more K5 images in the future (and I hope the damned hay fever clears up soon!  )

Thanks Neil,
Yes the hay fever is clearing and with luck the sky.
I think you'll like the K5 I've had mine for about eighteen months now and it's got to be the best camera I've owned, always had Pentax though almost forty years of using them
so a bit one eye'd.
It's much improved for low light low noise from the earlier models if you have any questions about it I'm happy to share what I know.
We are lucky to have people who put some software together like PK Teather, it aint perfect like you say but it's great to setup and let it do a series of images though, better than sitting with a stop watch.
I've made a lot of changes to equipment and software over the winter and it's all finaly coming together.
Cheers

I have the Kr, going to have to sell it and the GPS too unfortunately, but it has been great fun using it. The nicest thing about using a DSLR for this stuff is that you get to use it as a normal camera when not attached to the scopes.

I agree totaly Peter mine gets a fair workout at both ends of the spectrum. Sorry to see you're selling a lot of gear.
