They've obviously not seen Olly and Tom's Orion widefield!

Interesting article.

i wouldn't fancy stacking all that !

I always get worried when they take an image and say "This is what you can do." :eek:

They did exactly that on the first one, what they did not point out was they were using a 6" APM triplet and a dedicated ccd cooled. Probably £8000 to £10,000 of equipment. :rolleyes:

think I remember them showing an amazing photo, and saying it was taken by an amateur, in his backgarden, with just a black & white camera.  Black & white camera huh...

Thanks for sharing Chris.

I think this is a great idea and it will educate the viewing public on basic AP... but... as above I wouldn't fancy processing the subs.

It's certainly better than watching some "celebrities" in a "reality" situation.

Think I may have shot or two! That could be suitable?!!
