      good haul,you should have managed m105 with 95 and 96.

      I found M95 and M96 quite difficult and wasn't really sure it was them, and to be honest I didn't really look around them for M105. With a bit of luck I'll find them all tonight.

    Finally found M51, almost missed it. Again, no scanner :/ = greyness. Any tips on darkening the image without losing the galaxy or surrounding stars?

      Has taken me forever to find, and for some reason I found it harder to find than M97. Very nearly missed it.

  10. From the album: Sketches

    My first ever attempt at sketching the night sky. I know I could have picked an easier target however, when I had finally found these two, I wasn't going to let them get away.

      I wasn't sure if it was was these fuzzies I was seeing, I was in the right place (for once) so I did a quick sketch and brought it inside and bam! Pleased as punch!
