C8 Edge, AM5 mount, ASIAIR and asi224mc camera. Only had the mount for a couple of days and was delighted to get that image out of it!

Need to try with a Barlow and a smaller ROI next time it’s clear at home!

Although we were unable to spend the weekend at the star party, it was nice to come up for a visit and catch up with some old friends and to meet other fellow observers. Glad good observing conditions prevailed. 🙂

@Freff Just booking some annual leave from work - any thoughts if / when there might be a spring one? 🙂

Many thanks to everyone who attended the SWAG Autumn star party.

A successful  event with good skies, great company and a good evening at the pub. 

For the SWAG event next spring, I have pencilled in March 8th - 10th with the New Moon on the 10th.

I have also got the Autumn SWAG star party ear marked for October 4th - 6th with the New Moon on 2nd.

Again many thanks to all.

@ Clive, you left before I had chance to return your red light. Please PM me where I can return it to you. Thanks.

Sorry, mate, I just didn't see this till just now. Don't worry about the light: have it as a gift!

I'm waiting a little longer to get a consensus from others on these dates being suitable.

It will probable be these dates. HTH
