Although the sky was not what you would call clear I had a go with the 130mm APO. I would have liked to have done longer subs but the high cloud was a problem. At F4.8 the background sky was very bright.

lovely image...you have a 130mm F6 A&M...thats a seriously wonderful scope. I have had the pleasure of using the TMB 130F6.

Great pic

All we need now to go with our scopes is good seeing and darks skies. I am getting concerned about the lack of good imaging nights in the UK. I do have relatives in New Zealand - they might want a lodger :D

That's real pretty!

As a matter of interest, the other night I found that the high cloud was moving very quickly, and was patchy. Using iso100 and 900 sec exposures I was able to capture the same amount of detail as in a 300 sec iso800 shot, but the slower resposne at iso100 meant the clouds did not really ruin the exposures.

Cheers
