Nice collection JJJ.. I'll have to copy some music off you at barambah! my collection of late night imaging music is somewhat thin... I've now moved to a bit of dire straights.. haha.. weird, but nice...

Steve, Good to hear you're capturing data mate! Cant wait to see what you produce!

just did a rough stack of my 8x20min M8 images... looks nice..

lookin good mate! The seeing here is unbelievably good actually.. There is an element of moisture in the air.. however the stars are all looking very steady! looks awesome... 1200sec Ha subs of the horse head just started.. I should be able to get 6 of them before the stupid sun comes up and ends my fun!

What a coincidence! I just got 15 x 15 minute subs on NGC253, followed by 10 x 8 minute subs on Tarantula. Shooting M42 now. Gonna give easy HDR a shot with that one....should be interesting.

Might even try the starshoot on the moon while I'm here.

A very productive night.

Baz.

Ahh but did you have a few cans of Guinness Baz?

I was heading for B33 next but the seeing is now shot to bits

I've had 9 corona's so far Steve..

2x1200sec horse head Ha images in the bag... 3rd one is about 5 minutes in.. Exciting times these are.. mm yeaass.. bah ha ha ha hah aaa athe mooon can not stop my imaging frenzy!! NOOOTHING CAN STOP MY IMAGING FRENZYYY!!

With any luck tomorrow night goes off much like tonight.. if I can get the same amount of data again tomorrow on these three targets, I may well end up with some nice images!

I ended up getting 20x5min on NGC300.. Im still a little doubtful that it will be enough.. but hey.. get 20 more tomorrow and it could be ok..

Ah, to be young and free. I know I wouldn't be up yet if I'd have that many Coronas last night! My 2yr old have me up well before you hit the sack by the sounds of it.

Have fun tonight, whether at Ron's or home.......

I think I'll be home tonight... Im driving 300km to Barambah next weekend for dark skies, and staying home tonight gives me the opportunity to add more data to the IC434 Ha lum before going to dark skies to get some colour data.. Fingers crossed my dew heater bands show up before next weekend... the hair dryer is getting very long in the tooth!

C9.25 and EQ6...DMK mono....all set up and ready to go

I'm going to wait for Jupiter to climb a little higher (50 degrees +) and then capture some RGB sequences.

Seeing looks pretty good. Time will tell.

Now to sit down, relax, sip on a brewski and wait for half time in the Broncos/Titans game

I escaped from the house just as the other half turned the footy on.
Wide fields only for me tonight.
Might start off with Corona Australis then follow up with the Scorpions Sting.
In between targets I'll make a start on what I captured last night.
Have a great night everyone.
damn mozzies

Only seen the odd patch of blue up here at port douglas over the last few days and it's the same again tonight. But it doesn't matter, it's pub time instead
