Jorge,
It's a very impressive series of images.

The last one, NGC362-detail, seems to be slightly out of focus ..

seems to be slightly out of focus

Perhaps. Focus is a problem to me, yet. I can't expend much time because of battery. And as I have intention to buy a new camera... I don't want buy an ac/dc converter to my old Canon 350D
It is a crop of original photo. With no reduction these issues are more evident.

Nice images! You can buy 350D batteries quite cheaply ($5 each) off eBay - I used to have a big stockpile of third party batteries for my 20D.

[jsmoraes (Jorge)]

yes, naskies. I have two batteries. But the problem is to change them. I lose some alignment and focus. I reckon is better the ac/dc. But they are very different for different generation of camera. And is imperative: I need new camera.

Nice work Jorge!

As you say a little out of focus.
Good colour in NGC 362.

Cheers,

Justin.
