Description

I know this is my fourth image in roughly as many days, so I hope people don't mind me posting yet another so quickly!, but out of all the ones I have taken recently, this one was just a little bit more than I could chew, due to its faintness and the moon and its significant brightness - there were some serious gradients with this. It was quite a fiddle to get what I have out of the data, but I am pleased to have got this. I am hoping tonight, to be able to lay aside the duo filter, and image with my mono and see how that fairs, now that I have got used to this scope a little. What I am pleased about is the fact that the scope handled the wind on this particular night - it was really blowing, but somehow it held the 2 minute subs very well! Amazing and unexpected. Thanks everyone. Simon
