Being that we have a serious shortage of photos...

Popped outside, the other night, with the Ioptron, thought, better to have a practice than nothing. it was a bad sky, full Moon en route and sky full of contrails.

this was 1 sub 120secs, cls, F4, ISO 1600, 600D,  50mm lens. taken with Backyard EOS

Nice one Fay. You can see it was a murky night but kudos for getting out there and producing an image. I think the members images section of my next talk is going to be over in 10 seconds.

Thanks mike. I had to sit on my heated pet bed warmer. Nasty night

You can always use the images of the wrecked observatory

[Mike]

That's true Mark. It will go some way to explain why there has been a lack of images lately, i.e. the atrocious weather.

I'm taking my SLR to the sahara in April so maybe I'll get the odd photo.

Please don't send loads of pics of camels 

So many people will get the hump 

I crack myself up

Very nice star colours Fay!
