I will make it easy for myself and bring the lot. Maybe a 20Da might be able to share some time on my mount can always live in hope. Those images are fantastic, were you dancing around the lappy when they came through???

They don't come down to the laptop until I empty the camera card so I can only go on what appears on the lcd of the camera. I had a bit of a zoom look of a couple as I did them and they looked promising but I must say it was a pleasant surprise when I finally downloaded them and had a good look. As I said at the top, I wish now I'd done the right thing and at least snatched some darks. I have a library of darks but not for the temperature from last Sat. The ones I have are for around 24-25 deg and it was only 15-18 the other night, so the ones from the library won't be much chop. Tooo much noise.

Yeah Andrew, I was really looking forward to getting a good high shot of saturn. I'd held off since it rose above the hill, waiting til it got close to the meridian and nice and high, plus the telescope was nice and cool after 7 or 8 hours of being set up. I was just starting to get setup for a saturn run when that dam fog moved in.

The unprocessed Tarantula is awesome. Try it as your desktop...
That doesn't mean I stole it...

So what you are saying you did all that without really trying..I,m depressed. Seriously you gotta be very happy with your progress with the set up. Congratulations and I want what he has got (you know like the commercial)

Thanks Alex Don't get me wrong I was very pleasantly surprised with the results. Just wish I'd learn from my mistakes and treat every session as though I was in capture mode. Even when I'm only trying things out. As I've come to realise that even in "muck around" sessions you have the chance of getting shots that are worth processing.
