This is one of the Moon images I did yesterday. It was so cold outside that I could not stay up late enough for Mars.

Great image Fay, and good to see you using the Mak Cass, which reminds me, I have one of those.

Another one of my moon pictures. Same as befoere 1x45sec Atik, ha filer 6" Mak Cass

[RobertM]

Looks very nice with Ha filer, did you did any post processing?

[Fay]

only a little bit

[Tony G]

Surely if these are the only images taken this month, (due to unforeseen circumstances (BLOODY WEATHER) they automatically qualify Fays image to be 'Image of the Month'.  
That is unless people are braving the weather tonight, as it is due to be clear.

I have put two on now Tony. Looking outside, really freezing, not sure what to do. I suppose you are set up ready for tonight, Tony?

[Tony G]

Yeap! All set.

Corrie at 7.30,
Stenders at 8,
back to Corrie at 8.30,
and then VALKYRIE on Sky Premier +1,
Wrap up and venture out at 11pm to observe the Moon and Mars,
11.02pm back in for a bloody brandy,
and hope some others have taken some good images, that I can browse at tomorrow.
