A trip around the block

Got some imaging in during that time between dusk and about an hour later when it hazed over, pausing only to watch the ISS pass at 2106, fading out part way over as this was #2 of the evening and the Earth's shadow was well advanced.

Started with M13...



Moved on to M57 - close inspection reveals that I have caught the central star...



Then found that M27 is not a short hop from M57 - my mount had to go through almost 360 deg to get there....



Furthermore, the hazing over and dewing up of my scope were bringing matters to a close by the time I got to M92 in Hercules...



M92 is a first for me - a great little cluster!

Clear skies,

Paul.

Great bunch there Paul!
It's actually starting to cloud over here so I'm gonna
call it a night.
Tell me,
were those shots taken with your LXD75?
What camera did you use etc?

Thanks Frank! Yes, all taken with the LXD75 mount, 8" Schmidt Newtonian f4 scope, Sony A700 camera - lots of frames variously between 10 and 30 secs ISO 1600 and ISO 3200 all stacked up with Deep Sky Stacker and final processing in Photoshop Elements 5.

Clear skies,

Paul.

Lovely Photo's Paul,

Michael.

Great collection of photos there. Keep up the good work

Stunning Paul, looks like a set of astronomical postcards they look so good.
