Great Work

Good job Tom. Good image with the conditions the way they have been here in Adelaide. Lots of wind all the time, even up high. You can always see the stars twinkle. When it's still the Moon seems to be out. It has been a very difficult year so far. I have also spent a great deal of time learning to align and guide. Now I seem to have it sorted and ready to image.. The weather has other ideas it seems..


Cheers
Mardy

I'm down south (Noarlunga way). Skies are fairly good and relatively dark in every direction except the north. Wind can be an issue though, especially the seabreeze or from the east.

Pretty good detail there Tom. Colour looks a bit too brown maybe.

Well done.

Darrin...
