Great to hear from you Jim!
I'm glad you've finally got the scope out. That's a fine first result!
Mark
Nice Jim. Have to say that's one of your finest images ever. Great start. So are you now resident down Devon..?
Nice to see you imaging again Jim, hope life is treating you well down there, what are the skies like?
Good images, wow, lots of cosmic ray strikes!!
Carole
Thanks everyone, yes down here for good now, away from the madness that is London! Skies here are better than Orpington but still polluted as we are in the middle of town, so can't see the milky way. But no Street lights on our road and none visible so no complaining. Hay Tor on Dartmoor is about 20 min drive away and is dark so plan on keeping my kit mobile and imaging up there. Hope you all are well, best regards
Aye, moving out of Orpington does have its attractions...
Good to see you imaging again.
Well done Jim. Have put it onto my Observing Report for the next meeting. Very nice image,may I say. We need some more imagers to put up their efforts onto the Forum; there are only a couple of members submitting their images at the moment.
Doug.
Probably because no-one else is doing any imaging Doug. I don't think any-one is imaging and keeping their results to themselves.
Carole
Nice one Jim. The tor sounds a bit exposed though.
