V nice - lots of activity!  The 3rd image really captures the silhouettes of all the proms (incl the one at 11 o'clock).  If its possible to combine those silhouettes w the 2nd image, it should be quite spectacular! 👍🏾

Thanks.

Yes its possible but I haven't the patience at  the moment TBH.

Close ups to follow later as i have a bit of data to get through 225Gb - opps.

I call it the cheetah.

Apparently there is a zoo of animals in the rosette if you look.

good imagination required though.

Yes it was nice in the sun today -shirt sleeves no less.

And a proper prom fest.

I have just gone over to M96

Thanks Martin.

I did take some O3 but it was not great data the secondary on the RC dewed over a bit. I miight try again tomorrow if the forecast is correct.

It certainly does not, I have to grab it between the unfriendly streetlamps and the garage roof.

Wrong info I have of course now swapped scopes so it will be interesting to see if I can get the data to line up.

Best go and do something a bit more suited to the RC like a galaxy 😋

Thanks Dave.

Thats good news, I have about 3 hours /night on it.

That's looking tasty Steve, is it OIII next?  It doesn't get up very high does it.

A Tak mount....what a great idea. I shall return the dovetail immediately! 🤣

Congrats on your new Tak

That rabbit hole can get really deep.

My FS 60 looks very small on the Tak NJP mount .

The FS 102 looks more at home.

Would love a 128 or 130 to go along with them.
