[jcm]

Managed to get a bit more data last night.

130 mm APO , F6 , Canon 350D at 800 ISO

2 X 4 mins ( few days ago) + 10 X 5 mins = 58mins total.

I must have a try at these, a fascinating pair in the same frame - nice detail.

The only problem is that getting them both in the field of view means they appear quite small - zooming in a bit would produce a lot more detail.
