Scope and Orion
Almost forgot about this one. I thought it came out quite nicely. Taken in the almost completed observatory.

For once the moon was a great help illuminating the scope.

Thanks for looking.

Wonderful imageThe colour of the tube nicely reflected onto the mount.

Man, that induced the classic feelings that go with the anticipation of a night under the stars very well ...feelings that I seem to have little of these days mind you . I looked very longingly at this photo, thanks...

Unreal shot Matty giving the image a double astronomical feel.
I like also how the focus can be short and also infinity.
Cheers Kev.
