Nice chat on the phone Rob......telephone astronomy! Almost like I was there. But i'm glad i could talk you through it LIVE.

That final image is nice. Exposure is just about right. And great diffraction spikes. Good split on the double.

Next time out M57!!!!

Russ

[Rob]

Indeed Russ. Great fun

Sure thing Daz. I'll gladly share knowledge with you as we both learn.... its a little tricky but I think in time well worth it!!

[AndyMac]

Rob, I agree with Russ. The contrasting colours of Albireo come out very well in that last shot. Very well done!

[Rob]

Thanks Andy.... as you know I'm not a big imager, but I thought it worth a go!!

[AndyMac]

We all have to start somewhere, mate. I'm sure the hobby will grow on you!

[Rob]

Thats partly what I fear. Sounds odd I know but.... just don't want all my time to be behind a laptop!!.

I need to keep it real :whip2:

[AndyMac]

Laptop? What's one o'them?

Some of us still manage to image by viewing the actual DSO in the eyepiece & then taking its image without one of those laptop thingeys!
