9 x 5 mins with the Canon 450d and 200mm lens at f/2.8, unguided using the Astrotrac.

Can't comment, yet, Robert, where is the Coathanger?What is UDSC

The U in UDSC stands for Unofficial, I'll leave you to guess the rest and the Coathanger is in Vulpecula.

Great image Robert.

Fay here is a clue to the coathanger.

I thought that's what Woodlands was !

Thanks for the Graffiti Tony :)

Woodlands is the Official DSC. Until further notice that is where they will all be held.

Robert,

Sorry about that, I hope I didn't breach any copyright laws or anything.  ;)

Nice one Robert, although something has happened with the colour ?

Fay the coat hanger fits really well in a ZS66 with a 25mm eye piece and its really distinctive when you look at it, its great to see it in a picture.

When is the next Official DSC if its at Woodlands I'll probably take the week off.
