Endorse away buddy. If something is well built and good value for money, then share it around I say. Its handy to know because I'll be in the market mid next year for a portable mount or a wide field tracker to place a DSLR on. Ray

Impressive photo Prof. Ray

lol, geesuz Tony! That is crazy. Can you believe how much energy is wasted by light going straight up. Anyway what about an East / West Veil mosaic? Ray

Nice work Prof. Ray

Its amazing with that light pollution you can capture those filaments. Nice work mate. Incidentally, what are your LP levels there? Ray

That looks awesome mate. Have you opened up the starlight express? Those types of plugs may come with fusable resistors which pop if connected to power. Worth opening up and having a fiddle if you are handy with some electronics. Sometimes it is just a visual inspection to locate a burnt out component. Ray

I know this feeling. When I bought my C14 my Losmandy G11 couldn't guide. Took a year or two improving the gear boxes, motors, etc, until I finally took the plunge (a big plunge) and picked up an AP1600GTO. A good mount makes imaging enjoyable. Ray

Geezuz! I'm not sweeping that up. Great capture of dark neb, which is actually quite a hard thing to resolve. Nice work Prof. Ray

Great video and the location looked very cool (Brimham Rocks). Ray

Nice colour and filaments Tony. Are the fires anywhere near you? Ray

Epic mate. I almost got some photons tonight but just as I was doing my PA cloud rolled in. At least one of us is getting some telescope time. Ray

Very nice mate. Ray

Not fair, jealous, envious, quite upset. All I have is lingering altostratus this week. Some spatterings of blue sky but mostly wispy high altitude cloud. Now that I have vented about my problems, I'll exercise some self control and move on. Great data for such a short run Prof. Awesome little rig you have there. However it looks upside down from Perth, Australia. Can you flip it? My necks hurting. Ray

Incredible Prof. Well done. Ray

Epic effort Prof. Man that focus must have been sharp for the detail in those dust lanes. How often do you need to refocus? Ray

Beautiful Prof. Would have been a nice intense nebula in that location before those stars formed and sucked up all the gas. Ray

I live on a mainroad and each car that passes makes my 4 metre scope shake like a mother. The shake effect seems to be worse on my planetary (this camera) than when I shoot on my large format QSI. I really need better dampening technology in the ground for my pier to prevent those vibrations travelling upward. Anyone know what the straight gully's are caused by in the first photo? Below - Ray's X-wing fighter is clearly shown on the right handside here. I managed to snap its shadow as it was chasing an imperial tie-fighter smuggling the data of a rebel stronghold. The shaky-ness of my pier causes my histogram to spill over and cause the excessive white point. Ray

Incredible work Prof. Ray

Stunning mate. Well done. Ray

Very nice Professor. Ray

Yeah totally agree with Shane. That light pollution map is good. Ray

Wow, one sub! The question begs, why do we need an hours worth if you are getting results like that with one sub? I was in the U.S recently. I was in San Fran, San Diego and then Tuscon. Tuscon has the dark sky laws for Kitt Peak Observatory, the skies were amazing. Regards Ray

Geesuz Prof,. that's some serious stars! Great shots. Ray

Yeah that is a good shot buddy, well done. Ray
