Hello from Pomland!

Hope its ok for foreign visitors to join but as Saturn is at such a lousy elevation in the UK I wanted to see some decent images from down under!

Trevor pointed me in the direction of this fine looking forum so if I cause trouble you know who to blame!

Basically my name is Stuart from Cheshire, England and I've been an alcoholic for.....oops wrong forum. I've been planetary imaging since 2009 firstly with a 5" Mak and webcam but for that last 2 years with a 10" Auto tracking Dob and DFK21 with 618 chip.
I am known as "Space Cowboy" on other sites but had to settle for U.K.Cowboy here.

I will start the ball rolling with a Jupiter shot from Feb 17th taken using 5X powermate making f26 :

Thanks for the warm welcome guys!

Well I'm 41 in a couple of weeks John so guess I'm slowing down lol Congrats on your POW shot!
I'm feeling a bit of a big girls blouse after failing to get up at 3am for Saturn this morning when conditions were good but could not muster the will power for a 24 degree shot.

Welcome Stuart, strewth only 41, just a young whipper snapper. Great to see you on IIS and hope you become a regular. We all get on pretty well down here and it is always nice to see images captured from the Northern Hemisphere.

Regards
Trevor
