Always a pleasure to see something "out of season".

All thanks for the compliments

Darren - agreed I allways like Orion/M42 - easy to find and very photogenic.

Kermit - Originally text written as one big post - Eclipse, Andromeda, McNaught and this.

'Finally' did not get edited out when I split into 4 posts. :?

There will be more when I have them ready.

Ant - yes very chuffed - there should have been bot to stack but the battery died on the third shot. Still she will soon be back again for another chance.
