Nothing much technical to report from Saturdays imaging session.. alignment is going to have to get better, but that's all.

Lots of imaging: M42, M1, something as yet to be identified which was supposed to be M81 but wasn't , M82, M51.

However with the counterweight all black it's not terribly visable.... Not terribly visable as in: bang ouch! :mad:, cut knee through jeans... why do voices carry so much at night?

What was perhaps more impressive was that the scope never lost track!..:D 1 streaky frame and then everything was back to normal. I suppose that's what you get for the scope+mount being heavier than me.. it wins!

Oh and my M82 image has just gone into the deep sky imaging section under the novel title of M82.
