Here's one I took before the weather turned nasty.

6 subs @ 45secs 800 ISO. Rev 80 ED at prime focus.

Yup - like it a lot. Nice nebulosity

That's a corker MD - very little noise in there and good neb showing!

Gorgeous image MD.! That is a bit special.

Where are you getting your clear skies from?!

[moondog]

Thanks for the comments - it came out better than I thought. The sky wasn't particularly brilliant at the time.

Martin - clear skies ? I only seem to manage a brief semi clear gap in the skies these days. I've had to practice working fast !

Thank goodness that the Rev 80 ED is quick cool down ( as is the TAL). I can set up the HEQ5, check the polar alignment ( if Polaris is visible), connect the scope, slew to an alignment star or two, focus the Canon, take the subs, take it all down and put it back in the store room in 20 minutes from start to finish at a push.
