Its not that hard once you get to understand some of the complexities of this type of photography, I look forward to the next 12 as that area is all new to me as well. It is my hope I can join all three up and make one giant panorama of our Milky Way.

Thank you Ko I am trying to make the most of our clear summer nights to get the shots it just shows you how small some of these targets are. I will switch to an 8" reflector rather than the ED80 refractor as long as I can get the parts I need to set it up so will be a change coming.

Peter it keeps the mind active and alive you never just know what you are going to get , you always hope it works out but nature has a way of throwing rouge clouds. The good new is I do not have to leave home its all done in the safety of home.

A band of Brothers in these captures Steve. As I know, you do put a great deal of effort in taking these and then editing them to get them to look right for us. I have got to say that I love them all. God luck in completing your giant task.

Cheers. Herb

Thanks Herb I intend to get as much of it as I can I know I am in a holding pattern as I have to wait for the targets to rise so it is going to take a bit of time.
