the editing skill and knowledge has grown as well as the shooting skill. as i was putting in a new target to try out new camera I did think of my first set needed a revisit. I can add a link to info if you wish on the target its always a very good read. glad you like this shot the new camera should be a good one for these sized galaxies. many thanks.

You're way ahead of anything I've even contemplated here, Steve. The very thought of 47 shots, each of 10 minutes! Full points.

it not beyond the realm of 20min shots but I and going to try and stay with 10min as my max. Good mount control , Good guiding , Good polar Alignment, Good condition ( no moon,no high winds, No clouds, No dust in the atmosphere , no light pollution) its not as easy as clicking your fingers.

thank you Toz it has not been an easy road with no bumps or turnes but its getting smoother. its a challenge I enjoy though when you get results like this when it all goes right. I am able to bring my father books to life for myself plus its a real challenge to the mind to keep on top of this.
