Lovely raymo

Would love to see what you could do with your subs if you used Photoshop or similar

Thank you very much Dunk. Several things are conspiring to prevent me
from improving much. I have little empathy with computers. I can't get my head around layers and masks etc: I don't even have, and can't use, a mobile phone. Learnt to copy and paste six months ago.
Still can't get consistent tracking. The night chuckywiz came down we
managed to get 60 secs, which is poor, but useable. The next night I got
150 secs WOW. The next night I got 8 secs..
The weather allows so few opportunities to try to fix my problems, let alone actually get some images. I've got two half decent images in the last three months.

Sounds a bit of a triumph over adversity

Dunno how I'd cope if my mount started doing that...although to be fair the weather on the east coast hasn't been up to much for a while either, don't remember the last time I got a sequence of images

Somebody, somewhere is getting all the luck!

That's a great M20, which scope did you use for this? I'm guessing the 80mm Refractor.Clear skies.

Thanks Neil, your guess is wrong, it was my trusty 8" Newt. I'd have got
nowhere near enough photons through my 80mm in 10x 40 secs.
Clear skies to you too.
