Hey there Sportsgirl! Well done! Looks fantastic, a subject group that I haven't had a crack at yet. You've given me some well-needed inspiration I think! Now... if this Sydney weather would just behave...

Clockwise from the left, the galaxies pictured are NGC 3628, M65, & M66.

Weather permitting, I'll be adding more data to this tonight.

Chris (omaroo) gave me some very good advice that seems to have fixed my problem. Seems it's been a balance problem all along. The scope being too well balanced, the motors needed just a little bit of resistance to work properly.

Thanks for looking.

Thanks for posting JJJ - its a nice shot of the trio. There is a lot of detail in the galaxies and it looks like the mount is tracking nicely.

Nice shot. Good detail in the galaxies and lovely round stars. Top shelf image that will only get better with more data.

Regards
Keith
