There's still plenty up there for me to shoot with a DSLR Martin.

You are really getting some imaging time now Jeanette and it shows. Each is better than the other. Really nice images.

Looks like you are making the most of the good conditions JJJ. I'd forgotten how cold it got and had to pack it in early the last two occasions. How many sleeps until AF?

61 sleeps to go.

It's gotten down to 3 degrees out here so far. Last night was a steady 6 degrees from 7.30 up till midnight, when it started to drop.

Time to get the Ha filter out

I'm reshooting it tonight. 10x10min so far but looks like the clouds are coming back from the SW.

I'm a poor old pensioner Marc, no money for such things as Ha filters.
Unless I can sew or knit one, I'll not be having one.

Good luck with your imaging.

Love the crop!

jjjnettie (Jeanette) · #12 13-05-2011, 12:01 PM

The crop is the subject of todays procrastination of house work. I've taken 8 of the very best of the subs and am having a ball teasing out all the little bits of detail possible.

You should be able to pick a good one second hand. Any brand. Maximise your time under the stars. Moon or no moon. I'd be lost in las vegas LP without mine. One good thing to have.

Hi,

Nice photo and the crop is good too.

Ross.

Moi?

You know me well enough to know that I'm always cool, calm and always in control.
Glad you liked the pic.
