Beautiful night!

Only took a couple of images last night but the conditions were amazing.





: cheer:

it certainly was a good night last night, not too cold either.
Good shots, was the moon near the horizon when you took it ?

Thanks Dave, lovely night allround, the seeing was nearly still even with the moon filling a 2" eyepiece, just a bear ripple around the outside edge. It was about half way between peak and the horizon and had just changeed to the yellowish colour when I took the shot. Would love to know what changes the colouring as it drops, maybe someone here could explain it. : cheer:

Hi Reg,
Very nice images where they taking with the 110mm.

Hi Carl, yeah clarity is amazing, have to re-learn the camera as the settings that work on it's own lens
are not so good with the scope. Still haven't got the GoTo on the mount working quite right it's still finishing up low and to the left, must have something set slightly off. ) (think I'll have to sharpen the chainsaw though ;o))

Give me a call the next time you are heading to Wicklow. I’ll come along and we’ll do some imaging plus get you up to speed on your mount, focusing, framing of your images. Prepare for a very long night :>)) your mount is going to work hard; we’ll need lots of power and lots of extra batteries for your camera.
