Comet Holmes now really large & visible to the naked eye at Tuesnoad.

Fay,

You said you had a frustrating time when you were learning to do imaging, but just look at the fabulous images you are producing now.  It was well worth the effort and determination.

Carole, I had a frustrating 3 hours Friday evening, before I got going!! Could not find Polaris in my polar finder etc etc etc.  I think a lot of us had initial problems but everyone kept going & all got there in the end.

Thanks Carole for your comment.
