In A Galaxy Far Far Away

This is the night it all came true it was a trial under the moon. the computer program all worked so I just let it run. I was after NGC 300 is a spiral galaxy. It was off so just a star field but finally we have all the parts working perfectly. Next clear moon less night it will be the target.

I cant wait for a black night no moon like this night. None the less there are a lot of very small Galaxies in this shot well past my lens limit of 600mm more 1500mm or better.

Peter It has been a long road but its getting very near the end I would have liked another try at it but we are in for clouds, rain and great grandchildren. We have light pollution in our skies but i am look out in this case to where there is no light pollution If you look up

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bortle_scale

We are a Bortle 4 but the farm is a Bortle 2 about 1 1/2 hours from Perth so well out into the black.

HFF to you enjoy the weekend and importantly keep safe.
