Thanks lads, anyone thinking of widefield astrophotography, this is a very good way to go, the portability alone is well worth it

Until near next new moon.....

Thanks Carl, another great piece of kit to use :) I've just noticed also that this image was taken without the polarscope being collimated :ohmy: I collimated it last night and am hoping for even longer exposures sometime soon :woohoo:

That's a superb image Keith.

Haven't played with mine much yet due to weather but I did take it out with the PST today. Solar tracking word very well. In fact it tracked much better than my old asgt did.

Keep the images coming :)
