Thanks for your reply Adrian, it certainly is a bad case of the bloat , I'm just wondering where it comes from.

Here's a not very inspiring image of M67 (12 x 4min lights) taken with a Borg90FL and a Canon 60Da. Help please, the brighter stars in this image have blue halos, what could cause this problem (camera alignment, telescope lens, poor focus) ? Thanks

Me too, still there's more action to come in the future

Ian , I used a Borg 90FL telescope, a Quark Chromosphere filter and a ZWO 178mm cmos camera.

It was nice (and rare) to see some action on the sun today, here are a couple of prom shots from this morning.

Excellent steady seeing last night, there was some thin high cloud which probably helped. Here's a couple of close-ups (Equip:- 180Mak and zwo 178)

Thanks Olly and Martin for your comments, I'm going to have another crack at processing his one

Here's an image from 4th Feb, I think I might have fiddled with colours a bit too much Canon 60Da and Borg FL90, 10x4min subs

Probably my favourite two open clusters M35 and NGC 2158 (they're fabulous sight in the eyepiece) Image from last night - Canon60Da, Borg 90FL, 10 4min subs.

That's really nice.

A (badly focused) quickie from last night, the open cluster M38 in Auriga. Canon 60Da and Borg 90Fl, 6 subs of 5 mins.

Good shots Dave

Have a great trip, you will really enjoy it. We did a similar trip in 2009. Here's a couple of images taken , 1) Flagstaff (my son at the business end of the telescope) 2) Meteor crater (you will need a wide angle lens)

High cloud made for a nice lunar halo this evening, Canon 60Da and 8mm fisheye.

This type of opener.
