      Thanks Chris I managed about 90GB, or 15 runs on Jupiter at just under 4x (3800mm on my 200P). Seeing was pretty reasonable and I also managed a little lunar IR at the f/l as a quick experiment.

      Great evening, but now the kids are up it's impossible to find the time to process anything!!

      Lol, I constantly being nagged by missus because I am processing instead of playing with the kids.

      BTW. Nice capturing.

      Try the following:

      "Come out here and have a look at the moon lady".

      "Oh yes that is lovely man, I am really glad you bought that scope its was an excellent investment given the beautiful views we can now share"

      Haha ;)

  4. Just Clocked M57 - then the clouds rolled in

  5. Just joined the mob ;)

      There's some pics up in the Lounge, or my gallery. A 1982 10" F6+ with H Widley Optics. Needs some attention, but the optics should be good after a recoat - can't complain for £ 34 ;)

      Its very good here, I should have gone to the dark site.

      Yep great skies so far, but cloud on the way down from the north, so you may catch this first. Nice the moon hasn't risen yet!

  20. Looks great out tonight, but blowing a hooley - early night then!

  21. Looks okay for a run out tonight :)

      Hope you get out, last night here started with lots of dew and clouds so I gave in, popped out at 1am and conditions were perfect.

    2. SnakeyJ

      SnakeyJ

      Thanks Jarrod, should stay clear til 2am, with some cloud between 3 and 4. Definitely worth a go as is any gap we get over here at the moment ;)

  22. Lovely clear and dark here - until the moon rises!

      Hmmm... I think the Blue might be hit more by moonlight than you think. You've probably got about another 30min before gradients kick in. Im on SII now, before going back to M31 for a Ha top-up.

    3. SnakeyJ

      SnakeyJ

      I just managed the blue, but green looks very thin now under the moon - I'll capture 20 mins worth then move on and have a crack at Neptune and Uranus - that way I'll be ready for Jupiter if the clouds keep away!

      Daniel-K

      managed about 1.5 hrs on m31 so far moons just coming over the tip of the house, may image some star fields and try and learn to process star colour nice to be out though!!!

  23. Lovely view of Saturn and Venus as I woke this morning

  24. Lovely view of Saturn as I got up this morning
