John you got the Trap! thats good mate,how long is the exposure? when I look at It can't help thinking there is something else there that a contrast stretch might bring out.
Keep working It and have fun !

Thanks Dave & Louie..3 seconds handheld. I'm a lazy bugger, I've got the bracket to hold the camera to the scope & the drive on the scope (refractor with this shot) But what do I do!? I don't use either! Go figure. I think I prefer to just point & shoot 50 odd frames & see what I get. I'm weird I think. Given a choice out of an easy or a hard way, I'll take the hard way cos' I can't resist a challenge!! (If no one challenges me, I'll challenge myself).....Reminds me of the days when I used to shoot thru the 8" newt with a box brownie when I was 14 lol..My dad challenged me to that one.

You guys should be congratulated for making the best with the equipment on hand. But I would like to see some box brownie pics through a 60mm refractor.

Thanks Dave! Last night I very nearly took some AVIs of DSOs thinking of uploading them to you, yes. I dropped the idea though, thinking that I was probably wasting my time in this area with this camera. One never knows though...It might just work (test pending)
