I only went out to the observatory at 1.30am last night and carried on imaging until 4.30 am.

NAN and Pelican Ha only last night, plan to get colour next time out. Really please with this lens.

Great shot Carole! You are really mastering it really fast - fantastic framing.

Thanks Roberto.

Yes I am surprised myself how well it has gone so quickly, I always avoided camera lens imaging previously as the results were so awful. But I saw a thread on SGL where every-one was raving about it. So took the plunge.

Lovely result Carole. That lens gives a really useful field of view.

I've been imaging until 4am three nights running now and there's more to come! But feeling a bit tired now.

Thanks Mark, I could have stayed up last night, but as we were expecting our first Tesco delivery from 8am this morning I wanted to be fit and able to get it in from outside once it arrived.

Lovely to have some clear evenings for a change, look forward to your results.
