What's it like when the clouds disperse ?

I think I have an image of that too! Will have a look...  

Paying price for posting a jpg...  the original is far sharper

That is a nice one Dave

That's lovely

Grumble... can't work out the settings to get the image to display without being forumized...

Lovely image - Was that from the south side of the Loch or the north? ... Last time I was there I didn't even think of looking north... probably missed an aurora or two that way...

30 seconds, Canon 6D at ISO3200, Samyang 14mm lens :)

That'll be James, Greg and Jon methinks :)

It's in Orion, just a little way south of Alnitak (the left most star on Orions belt) :)

Hi Paul - unfortunately visually through a telescope the view is nothing like that, it's just a bit of a smudge really in this instance. The image is the result of about 15 hours worth of light gathered on a ccd chip. The 250 Dob should do you well though - just wait until you point it at the Orion Nebula or a few nice globular clusters :)

Hmmm... in time. Or I may do it again but with a WO 66 and a reducer...

Cheers Mike

Yep - you saw the Whirlpool Black hole here first...

Thanks Kieran
