M3 A mojo builder!

[simmo39]

Although we have a couple of clear nights here I have not had the energy to do anything. My mojo was empty, so last night I forced myself off my backside and went out for a quick target to see if I could get it back. This is not the best of pics but atleast I got ou and had a play! M3 taken with my Askar 400. 114 x 30s subs stired up with PI.

And a crop.

C and C Welcome

Thanks for looking.

The persistent cloudy weather has certainly knocked my mojo for six.  Well done for getting off your backside and having a go, and getting a decent result for your efforts !

If we ever get a clear night again I must force myself to do the same !

I think this could be the last pic for this season, all though I had a play staying up late is getting harder. Lol

Very nice. A cosmic snowball 👍

A very worthwhile outing, I'd say.

It's also good to see wide shots of globs, particularly of fine specimens like M3. And it's come out just fine in the crop.

Nicely Done!

Great image of M3. Reminds me of the awe I felt the first time I saw it in dark skies with my 8SE.

Had a nice view of M3 last session with my Canon 15x50is binoculars.  Showed a remarkable amount of granulation across the face considering it was 50mm aperture.

Open clusters also work well as you don't have to spend long imaging the stars only.

Nice. I've seen this when I took a short sub through my guidescope when I was fooling around and fine tuning things one night, but it is on the top of my list of targets I want to image properly soon.

Thank you all for the kind words, Hopefully Ill have a full tank of mojo soon!

Think I might have a late one and see if I can catch M3.  One of the first globs I saw with the big dob and always a treat!

Cant beat a glob!
