  1. Not sure that I did at 200mm but I’ll take your word for it 😛
  2. First light of my new Canon R6 Mk II Orion constellation - single frame at 105 f/5 45s ISO 3200. *Very light* processing - just a tiny curve and tiny levels. Lens: Canon 24-105mm F4. M45 - 17 mins total of mostly 1 min subs as cloud was rolling in. Near zenith last night on a Skywatcher SkyAdventurer. I think f/5, ISO 3200. 200mm. Rather more processing and gradient extraction in Pixinsight All unguided.
  3. Good afternoon, It's been a while (about a decade, give or take) since I've been involved in any 'proper' astro, and I'm slowly getting back in the saddle, again. What have I missed? -Mike
  4. I've just purchased PixInsight.

      I'm glad that my dulcet tones lull you into a false sense of alertness :P

      I was trying to think of that word 'dulcet' but couldn't, isn't that annoying,the older I get the more it happens, of course it could not possibly be related to beer and single malt.

  6. Moving house!

      Amazing skies, Guy. I cannot imagine darker. We're talking stars down to the horizon through the trees and naked eye Andromeda easily visible. I'm very pleased, although currently sleeping on the floor amongst boxes and bags as I type this so not quite yet ready to enjoy them.
