      The haze has cleared up where I am finally so scope is cooling away...determined to find a galaxy, hopefully the neighbours patented sun machine will turn off around 11pm...

      yeah what a night!! i bagged venus for the 1st time, done my longest sub at 3 mins, saw a shooting star, done some lush HDR sunrise and fog pics, couldnt find where i parked the car!!! wondering around in thick forest trees, ankle high in mud for at least half hour, i can honestly say i was crapping myself, it didnt help where i was bymyself! i got so lost i didnt even know the rough direction back :( but had an amazing night none the less

  7. looks like we got a gap in cloud tomorrow morning between 3am and 6am, im heading to the forest to capture Venus for the 1st time! :D cant wait

      i packed up and came home at 9pm as there was to much patchy cloud around, although i did see an incredible meteor that burst into a huge fireball

    3. tingting44

      tingting44

      yeah the cloud did start rolling in quite thick didnt it, i prob got my best data so far of M43 tho :) just need practice on how to tease the detail out :( what object were you capturing photon's from out at TH Jake?

    4. tingting44

      tingting44

      wow nice one on seeing a meteor!

  13. got my solar filter this earlier and like magic the sun is shining lovely!! wow there are lots of sun spots today! 1st time ever viewing and imaging the sun, well happy :)

    1. SnakeyJ

      Great idea - look forward to first white light pictures.

    2. Russe

      Russe

      Starting to think - maybe I should get one as well - at least the sun seems to shine every now and then - whereas the nights are soooo cloudy...

  14. off to work :( and its actually clear, i just want to have a play with my new EQ5 :(

  15. Wish the delivery driver would hurry up too lol delivery is stated from 10:58-12.58 but i got to go to dam baby scan at 12:00 grhhhhhh :(

    1. Moox

      Moox

      I know the feeling... :)

  16. the eq5 has been dispatched today (next day) i cant wait :D

    1. emadmoussa

      emadmoussa

      Cool stuff mate!!

  17. Got me an EQ5 with dual motors and a polar scope coming, time to enter the world of EQ from my AZ! lol i think i will be doing the Quatermass mod to the motor handset so i can guide with it :D MUCH EXCITED

    1. nephilim

      nephilim

      Get some practice in without the mod first as I was advised to do, if you jump in at the deep end with mods & guiding etc you'll be swamped :) Good luck mate.

  18. just looked out in to my garden and somone has chopped off the lamp post!!!! WOOO HOOOO!!! :D :D :D http://www.flickr.com/photos/tingting44/11929889464/

      jnc71106

      anyone from here get your pics shown tonight?

  21. have we got an APOD here? we should do...

    1. JB80

      JB80

      There used to be a fairly big pic of the week or month section encompassing all the various imaging sections but this was stopped. It was really good but I gather it was a bit of a faff to organise.

    2. JB80

      JB80

      I think the other thing is it can create a competition type thing and really some people are more sensitive than others, nobody should be afraid to post a pic because they don't think it is up to standard. All imagers are welcome here and I like that.

    3. tingting44

      tingting44

      yeah a pic of the week or month would be good, i can see it being a bit of a competition too, but that is a good thing sometimes, and your right all pics are welcome here

  22. what a great celebration of the birth of Jesus today :D
