Ngc3623

Finally got out last night after weeks of clouds and rain. Managed to get 46 x 1 mins of M65 through DSI II pro/10" f5 newt before the first bank of clouds returned.

Not one to write home about but it was great to be back out there catching photons.

Comments welcome.

Thanks Frank. It's an interesting looking galaxy and a good candidate for my setup in terms of size and brightness. More/Longer subs next time hopefully.

That's it I'm afraid Allan (at least for last night). The twins didn't get enough subs to make a post worthwhile. Should have set up tonight.

Thanks Gary. I'd like to get longer subs but it's proving quite challenging up in Brissie these days.

So much for tonight looking promising - set up earlier and it's just starting to rain here
