single shot from my time at Queensland Astrofest 2023 . Taken with a small amount of Cloudy Nights 2018 port, a redcat51 with a canon Ra hanging off the back all swinging over a 22 year old losmandy g11 lovingly tweaked and frogginated. all the while i sat there i knew the bloody plane would ruin a shot. after all every photon is sacred.
OMG – the sight of the H0ugh in action is nothing short of stupendous – never before have I seen so many components hanging off so many optical tubes bolted together in such a creative manner, all joined by a superbly managed nest of wires.
Top stuff Dave, you are an inspiration.
Cheers

PS - no aeroplane tracks when viewed on my screen.

That made me cry with nostalgia ...there is only one Hough.
Wow that brings back some very fond memories. I had a G11....I was and still is just a stunning mount....so well made...I did upgrade the the worm to an Ovision which made it incredible.
I just leave the satellite and aircraft trails in, The rejection algorithms are so good it just removes them without wasting valuable photons.
This is an example from one of my data sets....especially with SpaceX's Starlink's all over the sky. It does an amazing job. So now I dont worry about them so much.
Peter, that is just ridiculous. Bad down here, but not that bad, Rob
It really is Rob and very frustrating...but I guess its becoming an occupational hazard with more and more being launched, however the end result was very clean with no wasted subs...

Dennis i miss you every time i go to astrofest. clearly you have sucked more photons of this area. very nice. as i did say it was a single exposure, i have a few to process yet.

LOL! Its actually your very own image Dave, copied into PS CC and then I selected the trail and applied Content Aware Fill and it got rid of it!
