For the first time in 20 years, I finally have an observatory again, a pulsar 2.2 dome. This is also the first time I have used a dome, previously having had a roll of roof shed. I moved last December to a house with a bigger garden and top of my list was an observatory as our previous residence's garden was so small, an observatory would have swamped the place.

So hopefully, I can now be more productive and here is an effort from my new abode. Total integration time was around 9 hours and taken though a SW Esprit 150.

Stunning Adrian. The details in the galaxies are fantastic.

Excellent! Nice to see them without the Hamburger photobomber. And the very best luck with your obsy - that is the way to go. I could not live without one (or now three).
