Hi,

I took these on Sunday evening with my 80mm 400m piggy backed on the LX90.  Enjoy :smile:

Very nice - how long was the exposure on that one?

5 x 5 seconds with no gain.  I should have applied the dark frame but I forgot so there's some bits in there that should not be there.

How's the images from last night?

Not bad. Some field rotation on the long ones, but that is to be expected as we weren't using a wedge. WIll be taking them to Greg's tonight to try and process a few.

Chris try an unsharp mask, I'm sure there is a lot there in the tail that can be brought out.
