Enjoyed the meeting last night guys, up for a trip to darker skies soon. Moving the obsy visit makes it a bit more difficult but I'll try and make it. Ill be in Manchester with the inlaws. May try to get a pass out, may even bring the father in law along if that's ok?

Not sure the weather will be kind I hope it is tomorrow night as it would be superb for star testing the monster scope build.

[hazegood]

[Astronomer69]

Lakeside is the rd to Huddersfield after dunford bridge.

Gutted. Drunk way too much wine by this point to come and join you. My two hobbies are proving mutually exclusive. I need to start checking cloudy nights before drinking! Didn't see this break in the weather coming.

[hazegood]

Just got home, enjoyable few hours spent with Keiran,  who taught me a lot of interesting stuff about imaging with just my camera,  now to process the shots and see what I have,

Thanks again mate

[Astronomer69]

No worries Leigh was a good night with good skies.

Ended up getting some great subs on the Heart Nebula about 2-1/2 hours worth so looking forward to processing them later.

Will be back out tonight shooting the Soul Nebula. [emoji2][emoji2]

[hazegood]

been up all night trying to process the milkyway shots, think the dew got the better of me am getting nothing usable at all out of DSS,  everything is just dark compared to the originals,  even if I only stack the light frames

Gonna start on the Pleiades ones in a while.

Cant wait to see your heart nebula after you processed them, the single shots you showed me, would have made my year if I had taken them
