Hi all, not been around for awhile or even been out for ages, a combination for bad weather and work commitments.

Went out last night\this morning 06/09/15 

Taken using my Canon EOS500, at ISO1600 and my CPC800 Telescope. Total of 35min Exposure. 

Comprised of 22 images, 20 @120 seconds and 2 @200 seconds

Well done, you've captured some great detail and nice colour too.

Nice one. The background does seem a bit black, and even clipped on my screen. Maybe making the background lighter will bring out more of the fainter bits

Very nice capture. Thanks for posting.
