Ha Chicken

[troypiggo (Troy)]

Been ages since I've set up and taken an astro image. While not a particularly fantastic image, thought I'd post this to let you know I'm still around

[ReaPerMan (Paul)]

Nice wide field Troy, great job.

[Octane (Humayun)]

Seems like we're all coming out of retirement! I've been at it, too. Glad to know I can remember how set up all my gear and drift align, and manage to take 30-minute exposures with round stars. :~)

What gear did you use here?

Onya, Troy

[DavidTrap (David)]

Nothing wrong with that!

I believe you are excused for your absence given the weather in SEQ for the last 6-8 months!

Looks good Troy. Some nice depth to it. Was that from last night?

Welcome back - that is a very nice image to return with

I know. Think it's been nearly a year for me. Probably longer for you.
Gear is QSI583ws camera and TMB92SS scope.

For me it's been more of a time issue. New baby, new business, working long hours. Get home exhausted.

Cheers mate. Not from last night. This was from last weekend.

Thanks mate. Not ED80 (sold that). It was the TMB92SS. Lovin it.

Thanks Mike. Aim was to get the little planetary bottom right in. It's such a bit Ha area, probably best to do a mosaic. Next time.

Thanks mate. Any compliment on an Ha shot from the Ha master is a plus in my book! I'm flattered.
