[CELESCOPE]

it might look easy ,but i assure you ,it darn hard work ,getting everything just right takes a lot of time, getting the mount to its best , making sure the guide stats are set correctly. use of the right filter , correct balance of the scopes , , could go on , and all this could takes nights and nights of trying, then it works just how you want it,ahhh bliss, now lets get going , then we have planes ,clouds , wind, equipment going wrong !! hell is it worth it , lol YES when u get a great image ,its all worth the time ,

You've hit this Jelly Fish more than once this year, and it just keeps getting better and better.

Great stuff Rog.
