Queensland astrofest widefields

well I had a great time at queensland astrofest , my mount blew a circuit board ,then I borrowed one which did not work as well ,so I went for some widefield shots with camera on top of the ioptron skytracker which I was very pleased with under such lovely dark skies. my processing is very rusty having not done any for a long time

Sorry to hear about your troubles Alan. Hope you get it all sorted again soon. You managed to capture some nice widefields though under what I assume would be stressful times. Good job mate!

At least you managed to got some good shots at AstroFest even though you had all the gear problems. Glad to hear you got home safely.

Cheers Rob

Great collection in the bag there. Looks like the sky tracker was your friend when all the other mounts weren't

Some nice stuff there, Alan. Barnard's Loop stands out really well in the Orion shot.
