This one for me...

First attempt at this and it's a little harder than I thought as the core (read fairy) stars at the top of the tree burn out so easy. Added to that the other stuff like high cloud and low mist and it was hard to get anything. Longer exposures washed out so this is 15 frames a2 2 mins each, binned 2x2 with the ART-285, 0.5 FR, Megrez 80 II FD, guided with the 8x50 finderscope and SC3 on the EQ6. I am now officially frozen stiff...

Good shot, again. I think I would have called it the ice-cream cone, though...

Hi and thanks

Ice cream cone? It's upside down :-D Rog, I have just got the cone there (at the top of the tree, dark bit) but if I had processed to pull it out I would have lost too much of the starfield to saturation
