For some reason I thought I had posted in here already. Should pay more attention to that icon; maybe put my glasses on for once. Nice shot, anyway, James.

About the sisters, though, do they live right on the river?

Pedant!

A bloke that used to live a bit down from you said something like "only an unimaginative man could spell things the same way every time". (Mark twain)

Time for the old joke about the dyslexic agnostic insomniac then?

When I was told my son had dyslexia, I became so despondent, I threw myself behind a bus.

It may be inherited. Speaking of which, do you know what DNA stands for?

[LITTLE COL]

deoxyribo nucleic acid

basically stands for inherited!!!

That's brightened my morning. How un PC!

What do you get if you cross a dyslexic, an agnostic and an insomniac?

Someone who lays awake all night wondering if there is a dog.

I think we've all missed the important question here........

Exactly which cakes were they, and were they real cream or fake 'squirty' stuff!

I've had first hand proof that the consistency of the cream makes a great deal of difference to the final image. Of course, you really need a couple of scones and a pot of jam........

And not too mention a poorly brewed tea. It can't be some slap-dash effort, it has to be properly made..........

OK, serious question - how do you overcome the noise @ ISO 1600 JD?

[OXO]

Cake wise they were 2 REAL cream filled buns(none of that spray shaving foam carp), Tea was Earl Grey from the pot

Over coming the noise at iso 1600 well just getting as many frames as you can helps with this when processing it out Daz, also with the Filters available pretty much any image can be de noised. I like using the the gauss blur filter for this and lowering levels in photoshop, not sure about the 350d but the 300d camera has a lot of noisein the blue and red channel so these are my first ports of call when processing the noise out of images.

I like that James.....superb indeed! And you did extremely well on the nebulosity with only 30sec images. Nice job!

I tried M45 last night, but the cloud gods conspired against me (and I didn't have any cream cakes!!).

Have just taken delivery of a UV/IR blocking filter so I really wanted to give that a go, coupled with my UHC-S filter.

Ah well. Looks like my next clear night will be some way away.......

[OXO]

Thanks Russ

Daz,

Yep same here last night no chance of imaging/observing anything although the forecast was for a Clear Night(yeah right), should be interesting what results you get from that filter combo
