Not much but meh!! got something.
L=5*70 Sec
R=7*60 Sec

You and me both....although I don't like the chances for the next week or so.

[CoolhandJo (Paul)]

Very nice. Heaps of detail.

[mill (Martin)]

Thank you Paul

[multiweb (Marc)]

Very nice trap. Detailed.

[mill (Martin)]

Thank you Marc
I need to get it sharper, it looks a bit soft to me.

[prokyon (Werner Probst)]

Very nice, you captured the core very well!

[Ross G]

A good photo martin.

Nice colours and great detail, especially in the centre.

Impressive core - I'm really struggling with my core at the moment. Well controlled and I would certainly be happy with it Martin.

Hope the G11 firmware is coming along nicely. My Gem 2 is playing up again around the western limit so I have to keep an eye on it.

Darrin...

Not bad for a test image Marty, have you tweaked the collimation yet. No problem with my G2 at the moment

Thanks Darrin
I use mostly levels to bring the core etc out without bloating the stars.
Get a picture and move the left slider to the right until the data starts and then move the middle slider to the left until you hit the start where the line goes up and do that a couple of times.
With this the stars are very controllable.

It looks like Rene is busy with the pec and hopefully we can test that out soon.

Hmm weird my G11 just stops at the western limit and beeps until i nudge it out of the limit.
It shouldn't be long before the newer firmware appears on the Gemini-II group.

Thank you mate
I didn't tweak the collimation yet after taking the thing apart because of the weather lately
Hope the next firmware makes it even better (i know it will ).
