Its very much so as you have put down. when I leave the mount out the back like this it takes less that 10 min to start and them get the whole process on the way. you can see why its wrapped up in the blue tarp as it is close to the sprinklers during the day.

at the moment its in the bath room next door taking long dark's 10 min each now it is ISO 200 's turn 50 of them all this to create the back library for the deep space shots. I then do all the dark fast shots and the vignetting shots as well 50 each of them.

I did start some thing I thought was going to be simple but turned out quite complex . Its my hope that the gremlins are all gone and I am at the very start of the simple life of setting things off and It fall into place.

I am ready for the action part which is no moon no clouds as you know those are not so easy to string together.....

As always, I am so impressed by your star pictures. What you get is brilliant!

Best Wishes, HFF, a nice weekend, and stay safe!!

Peter I know we all have had a bad time of Covid 19 but I do count myself lucky Living in WA we have so much freedom.

My star photos are getting to where I wanted them to be as some thing worth looking at and of some quality. yes you are seeing the Rosette being taken live and same spot the Seagull as few nights later, I have just put on. 100% in the city lights.

HFF to you and please make sure that yo keep yourself safe.

I'm interested to see that you're getting these great results from what looks a reasonably urban site, Steve.

Steve Paxton club has replied to tiabunna club
I try to shoot moon free from my yard but would rather go out to the farm Bortle 2 out of the city which is a Bortle 5. its still in the city lights but we are blessed in WA with great night skies. Over that shed is the Light of Perth city.
