Thank you

Thank you everyone, your comments are much appreciated Have to say I'm very pleased with this one - I feel the hard work is beginning to bear fruit

That's coming on a treat Gina. Well done. As I said in another thread somewhere, I've followed your tribulations and I must admit I would have called a halt to it all. You are made of sterner stuff.

Dave.

Concur with the comments on the colour, what a great job! Im so jealous of the clear skies you must have had as I cannot remeber the last night I saw anything other than cloud

You are really coming on leaps and bounds with the imaging this is by far the best I think I have seen from you yet. A few dust particles hanging around making a nuisance of themselves that the calibration pics haven't dealt with, maybe a quick go with a blower will remove the worst of them? Very nice all in all though I'm sure you are rightly proud of this one

Thank you Yes, it sure made a nice change to be able to get out and do some imaging - really cheered me up - I was becoming quite depressed with all the cloud and rain. The bad weather is back again though

Getting there I think - thanks Yes, the sensor had collected a heap of rubbish. I've now given the sensor a clean and got rid of most of it Still a few small dust bunnies showing on the new flats but it's much better. I couldn't see anything by eye on the sensor except a little bit of smearing but there could have been dust inside the camera despite giving it a good blowing out. Unfortunately the light path area isn't sealed from the rest of the camera insides - in fact there's a great big gap, plus dust can settle on the back of the shutter which can't be got at.
