Dear All

I hope you are well and safe.

I have now finished the eastern region of the Virgo cluster of galaxies as per my post last week:  https://www.astrobin.com/yo5ba6/D/

With so many clear nights and above average seeing, it's difficult to keep up with work and sleep!  A good problem to have though  ;)

Best wishes

That's a lovely result with lots of detail.  I guess the seeing was pretty good when you were imaging this.

That's really excellent Roberto and nicely framed as well.  I especially like the galaxy montage at full scale.

Thank you Mark, Robert!

Yes, seeing was very good at the end of last week when I was acquiring the L frames.  Tonight and tomorrow seeing is forecasted to be again very good and in addition to some double star observing, I'm hoping to add more data to NGC4631 (Whale and Stick) and perhaps complete the Vulpecula L before dawn.
