Many thanks Horatio i was a bit worried about posting it as ive seen other cracking images others have taken but we all got start somewhere i guess,to be honest it brought a smile to my face when i first saw it on the monitor during the first preview exposure, i need help on levels and curves and the histogram i just dont really understand it and its just a case of moving the sliders but it would be nice to know what they actually mean.thanks again for your kind comment.

Great photo.love it, may i ask what setup/scope was you using?

in the photo it shows the old slide of runner on the right which is now taken down,also a piece of timber as a backstop for the roof which is now taken down due to the winch fitted.the felt roof is to be replaced(covered)by a black tile effect roof when i find a cheap supplier.i dont like the felt at all and i cant wait to cover it.

very nice i want it :-)

outside walls and roof are covered in 15mm hard plastic tongue grooved material they use for caravans such as statics,came at a cheap price and i think finishes the job

i made the steel pillar its around 6 stone i got bit carried away but it does the job and be ok when i upgrade my scope and mount.

fantastic photos there mate, i hope one day i be able learn how to get them results :-)

Amazing:-) Im new to astronomy and buying a skyliner 250px dob telescope after christmas.im amazed at the colours i never thought possible you could see such detail etc,surely i wouldnt be able to see wonders like this using a 250 dob telescope?
