Well after weeks of rubbish weather I was able to grab a few hours last night and I took my lead from the latest edition of Astronomy Now, I went for M109 and The Twin Quasar, both in Ursa Major. Now I know I have not got enough data, and no flats means not the best image, the seeing was not great, it was very damp and cold, my breath was steaming up all over the place, but I think (correct me please if I am wrong), I may have got this quasar at 8.7 billion light years away, if not, I certainly was in the right area. I love hunting down new targets that I cannot see through the EP, that for me is the key thing about astrophotography, even at my very basic level. Anyway, only about 45 x 45 sec exposures, ISO 1600 for M109, 3200 for the possible Quasar.
It was just great to be out!

All the info states launch is 18th, but it's counting down now to coverage, I'm s bit confused.

The difference from the razzmatazz of Space x was amazing. All that grey metal.

Must be a problem, didn't launch then the stream stopped.

Sorry, I'm with the, "Yet more space junk!" brigade.
Just because he can, doesn't mean he has to....
But it's in pursuit of the bigger picture and exploration even further. The technology behind this is amazing and let's remember space is exactly that, full of space.

I feel drained. Absolutely amazing. I've been banging on about this for ages to colleagues and friends and loads watched it. Massive smile on my face now.

We were away in Wales. It was a clear night that night, got some lovely wide field shots and did some great star hopping with my bins. Saw loads of stuff I wouldn't normally see at home.
