[NickK]

Not being an imager I don't normally comment on the images but I couldn't let this one pass. GORGEOUS.

• i wondered why i hadnt seen you around for a while, weve probably only had 60hours of clear skies over the past three years....... stunning shot once again

Well that does it for me, absolutely amazing, I hope you are as proud of that shot as you should be! A very well done indeed. I have never understood fuzzy blob observation, imaging is the way to go.

Thanks again for the kind words

The new 12 inch RC arrived a week ago, and there's been one clear night which I spent playing around with it and getting to know the beast, but it looks promising for gathering really deep data in somewhat less time than it's been taking!!

Cheers

Rob
