Hi Trevor,
Great to catch up with you at Wiruna again.
A great photo.
The amount of dust you have captured is amazing.
The scope and QHY10 camera are working well.
Thanks.
Ross.

Thanks Ric and Ross,
Still struggling with technicals with the scope, collimation doesn't hold well with the 3hrs travel to Wiruna, and my mpcc spacing still needs work.

Thanks Justin, I was initially worried that it wouldnt turn out. Had all sort of problems with strange colour casts until I removed my flats. Will have to redo those.

Oh I know, I have considered it a few times but always balk at the scale of logistics vs clear skies probability

Fortune favours the bold
The probability of clears skies is inversely proportional to the number of people who visit Wiruna on the new moon, so maybe you better stay away.

Yeah, that's what I mean. You're in the race, I am still on the starting grid.
Maybe i should collect the data and give it you to process.

Thanks Marco and Richard,
This is the first time I have been able to bring out the dust in an image, dont ask me how I did it, or to do it again.
