Is it ok to send this to Louise at the Madley Centre?

Certainly Mark.

If you watched my very bouncy eclipse video a few posts back, here is a revised and unbounced version. 

The unbouncing was done using a very useful program to which my attention was drawn - ImPPG (Image Post-Processor)

Here's my first 'media' from SGLX - a timelapse set up for the sunset / Orion passage during the hog roast!

It's the first time I've tried day into night, and although I got the transition wrong (you can see the jump), I managed to get a lot of it right!

[Davey-T]

Can you make it for public consumption John, especially as the top of my head might be in it 

Dave

[Jonk]

I thought it was already...hang on I'll check.

Does it show up on here?

[Davey-T]

Working now

[Helen]

That's a really great timelapse! 

(shows how bright some of the red lights were this year though  )

Class!

They'd be unguided missiles then ?  

[cotterless45]

Misguided ?

Got back on Monday and have been ill in bed since. Too many late nights, cold temperatures and fried breakfasts!!!!!. Getting better now though. Many thanks to Grant and Daz et al for organising, Mark at Beaufort for the eclipse event, Peter (Psycobilly) for helping me pack up the tent, and my neighbors Dr JuJu for helping fix my GPUSB ST4 guiding unit and Tich for being as daft as a brush.    

Here are my efforts on the Needle Galaxy 12 x 15 min subs taken on Sunday night/Monday morning, I have posted a cropped version as well.

[Davey-T]

Nice image, never did get my guiding to play ball, just did a few unguided but had a great time

Here are some of my photos from SGLX.

More photos will be added soon, when I can get time to sort out.

[Mr Spock]

Thought you might like a few without scopes...

[Scott]

Nice pics there Michael. I like the old sheds. Almost reminds me of home with all that corrogated iron

[Davey-T]

Thanks for that John, just wondering who the old geezer in the balaclava was looking at my scope and realised it's me

Nice set of calming images Michael.

There's a  always a serene tranquility about Country life. Even in Winters Wake, the solitude wraps around you somehow.

Hope you're feeling better matey.

Ron.

[Mr Spock]

Thanks Ron.

It was disappointing that due to illness I had to leave early on Friday, but at least I saw the eclipse. I also had a look through a Coronado on the Thursday which made me want one...

Finally gotten round to uploading my eclipse images, only caught it from just past halfway becuase of the cloud (had to drop a few subs too):

120 frames animated using PIPP (thanks to Peter for the heads-up on that bit of software).

Imagine Pacman shouting Nooooooo in slow motion....Well I can see it!

Thanks should go to  to Chris Garry for developing it and using it to sort out my moon munchin' sol jumpin'  timelapse...

Peter....

This is my latest image taken at SGL10 . The Cone and the Fox Fur nebulae. It is 8 x 15 min exposures. I was not sure if I would get much from this target as it was at an elevation of about 40 degrees above the horizon when I started and ended up at 25 degrees, where the atmosphere was getting very murky. So I got 2 hours on it before it got too low, I then went on to the needle galaxy which I posted the other day.

[Jonk]

Very nice!
