Dreaming that my first DSLR Long exposure adventures will go well. Got the kit and software, just need to learn it all. :P

Got myself told off in mothercare for stating that a cot mattress was the same price as a new tal.... got it down to £150, "same price as a second hand tal".. and I thought astro stuff was expensive... don't ask me about the pram!

17 days till astro darkness returns! Bring it on!!

new baby = 1........astro funds = 0..................lol

Starting simple with M27, 30s subs and PHD2

5hr applewood smoked rack of pork ribs in Cajun spices with a honey glaze. Yumtastic!

A very bright ISS aligned with the Moon and Mars, a beautiful sight after days of cloudy skies.

i had a lovely view of the ISS at the 11pm pass....so i thought right! lets setup the scope for the 12am pass to try and image it for the 1st time with my QHY5L-ii, all setup now but here come the clouds like clockwork....
