Awesome captures Daryl. Especially the first posting (my favorite.) Olympus Mons looks like a zit poking out from the surface. (I know not a pretty analogy but it's how it struck me.) Glad to hear from you as well. Keep on truckin! Tim.

And people think space is empty...

Fantastic capture, maybe just a little over the top in processing. Seems to be lacking in depth. IMHO. Tim

There's more...I counted.

And, my best effort at the 'Great Conjunction of the Century'. It will still be a good view tomorrow night if one has the opportunity, (and the weather) to have a look. This one is from the 20th. And this is from the 21st. I used the C9.25 with my now old 450da and a 2x barlow lens I fabricated some time back. FOV was about right for this event. Cheers, Tim.

What program/programs are you using for processing? Seems like I remember hearing about this conundrum before. Tim

Not too bad of a night last night. I thinks it's time to search for a bigger OTA though...16"or maybe 20". Yeah right!

Just a few quick assorted pics. A little crappy on this composite, but it's supposed to be a Hallowmoon. Anyhoo...

So. It's clear, it's fairly cold, I'm sitting here watching some planet jump all over my screen, scratching my head, I'm going, wtf? Thinking back, (something I always used to check,) I forgot about checking the jet stream, AAAAARGH!

This is last nights effort. Hope to get some better images as it's beginning to get colder at night. Might steady things up a bit. Tim.

About 9pm it pops out from behind a tree....But it's ideal about 11pm to 1am.

Yep, that worked very well! Tim

Got a few clear nights. Trying to get in some imaging time. A little soft, but better than to overdo it. Cheers, Tim.

A fridge, bar and a TV you got a Man Cave!

Haven't seen one of these little fellas in a while. Hung out a bit then went his own way. Tim.
