Seconds out. Round Two

[spudicus]

The skies are looking better tonight, so I'm off for another shot at M13.

GOOD LUCK, Spud!

Well what do you expect, living in Blackpool! :roll:

Skies were totally clear this evening. Setting up the scope is getting quicker (so those cloudy nights weren't wasted) Checked out my slo-mo technique on the Ring Nebula, so got the feel then had a crack at M13.

Took a little while, but I got it!

Thats chalked up number 3. I now have M57, M27 and M13 under my belt (I did the M25 this morning, but trust me, it was very grey and very slow moving...)

Roll on Mars and Saturn

[AndyMac]

Warmest congratulations, spud. It's a great feeling when you bag them DSO's for the first time!

[OXO]

Excellent news Spud well done on getting M13 the pratice indoors with your mount/telescope is certainly paying off for you!

Nice one Spud, and do;t forget that everythime you observe a DSO it gets a little easier. You start to realise what your looking for etc.

Nice one, so whats next?
