This image isn't anything to crow about, being only 8 x 300s of clear filter, and quite small galaies, but it was a pleasure to take with the equipment running nicely and the visibility quite good. I enjoyed it

I was going to continue taking images of objects in the LMC (concentrating on a bit of a survey of it) but I only ha an hour or so out in the observatory and thought it not worth continuing, so tried this region instead, being packed with galaxies.

Quite a nice little selection of galaxies Roger.

You have captured some quite faint little fuzzies in that one.

Hi Roger

Just returned from a camping trip so I’m a little late in replying, but that is a great shot – well done. It is good to see such nice, round stars at 2000mm +, you must be very pleased with that!

Cheers

Dennis

Thanks Dennis

I am very happy with the round stars, it was a please to take that photo and process it. I'm looking forward to more, but this weather just isn't behaving

Nice work. You are certainly dipping into the void there. Some of these fellows are a long long way away.
