lovely FOV & nicely framed Fay. What's it look like if you push it harder in processing - looks to me like there is a lot more to bring out....?

[Fay]

thanks John, yes i could do. i did think i should get more at 900 secs. will have a go

[PhilB]

Cor, coming along nicely

[Fay]

thanks Phil. i am having a bad patch with my images. have done a few but all not too good, either because of composition, or clouds  or too feint a subject. i will have another go at processing this one though

Had a go at reprocessing your image hope you don't mind, look's like you have some ghosting on the image top left hand corner.

[Fay]

Ha Ha very funny!!!!! I must say though I had a lot of problems with the Moon shining into the lens that side!!!!

[mickw]

Nice one Fay

So at least you haven't broken the QSI then 

[Fay]

no not yet...........hows the packing?

[Jim]

Really impressive Fay, that's a lovely lens you've got there

[Rocket Pooch]

I like is a lot Fay, could do with some O3 and SII though.....

And I must admit its making me think about using my L lens in France in two weeks time.

I am having a bad patch with my images.

I wish I had some bad patches, and produced sub-standard images like this. 

Keep up this bad work Fay...................and I love the MONO.

Tony G

PS

in France in two weeks time.

Chris

You off to France again.

[Fay]

you are all too kind. just set up in the snow (dedicated) fixed the QSI to the WO ZS66, to test focus tonight. first going to redo Rosette see if i can process better.

looks clear tonight, but that moon is very prominent.

[Rocket Pooch]

It's already -2c here today already!

[The Thing]

-1C here and dropping fast. I might have a go at imaging Mars with the webcam given the state of the moon tonight.

[Fay]

I am just heating up my pet bed warmer for sitting on in the garden!!!!!!

[Carole]

You are so dedicated Fay, sitting outside in this freezing weather so regularly. 

Very nice image, that must be a really good lens you have there.

Carole

[Fay]

thanks Carole. burnt my behind on the pet warmer!!!

[Carole]

burnt my behind on the pet warmer!!!

OMG!!!

[Fay]

  that is what it felt like

[mickw]

Is this pet bed thing designed for substantial pets like donkeys or pit ponies, or is it for the run of the mill cats and puppies ?

Would you say that you are heavier than a cat or a puppy and might actually break the pet bed ?
Setting fire to your bum could be the least of your worries in the cold and damp of the garden while sitting on something plugged into the mains 

[Fay]

IT is for cats & dogs & you warm it up in the microwave. it was really good, but so much heat coming through. i thought it would be cold quick outside but it lasted very well. Even though it was burning, i stayed put...................................

... ahhh I spy a problem - no good for DSC's unless you take a microwave oven with you... 

Mick - you got a Mwave in your van?

[mickw]

IT is for cats & dogs & you warm it up in the microwave.

Thank goodness for that, I had visions of you going up in a cloud of smoke   

Mick - you got a Mwave in your van?

No - but I bet Fay now has one in her tent now 

[Fay]

i did suss the setback at DSC.................mmmmm
