Nice images Pete - you seem to have a little more haze than me last
night g.

Are your NEAT images on a single webpage rather than *.jpg? The
former is much easier to browse.

Conditions have been pretty poor for ages. Last night towards the end
of the observation all I could pick out in Gemini were Castor and
Pollux!

No webpage yet - I'm in the middle of a re-structure between two hosts
and haven't had the time to sort out a proper display page yet.

Nice image - he must have a very low western horizon ;-)

I managed a widefield composite using my ST-80 but the exposures were
a little too short for my liking.

I've also boosted the brightness of the original image a bit.

I thought one of the advantages of a digital SLR + tripod was freedom
to record from anywhere without mains requirements. James, so I
understand, drives to a clear horizon darkish site for his
astrophotography. Nothing like that exists in the London area hence
my fixed observatory.
