Not very good, took this at the beginning of June. After nearly a MONTH of cloudy skies its growing on me.

That's not at all bad Martin, you've captured the two central stars very nicely.

What are the details of the exposure etc?

Nice , It has a very nice "view through a big telescope" feel to it.

Er!, alright, I give up Martin. What's wrong with it? I know, you forgot to colour it in.

Nowt rang wid that man. It's a canny picture.

I think its very good indeed, the central star plus the one in the middle and the one hiding in the ringy bit are all there. Nothing seriously wrong with that at all.

Agreed, some good detail caught in that one 8)

Lots of detail there Martin, a great shot. Looks a tiny bit out of focus but looks like a long focal length shot so could be the seeing.

Pretty good - also seeing a hint of that wispy galaxy thing, towards the bottom, right of centre.

Nice pic Martin. Well done!

What camera did you use and how long exposure it was?

Thanks

Martin

Thanks for the kind comments.

The ccd used is a mx716, 30 subs of about 30 secs if my memory serves me correctly(it doesn't very often these days) F6.3 reducer.

May get a clear night tomorrow if the forcast is correct. Just checked the scope and the aperture has healed over.
