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.

Walked outside last night about 11pm, and noticed this action going on. It was cloudy earlier, so I didn't bother trying to do any imaging. But anyway just a quick snapshot a Mars and the Moon hangin together. Tim.

Looking good! Tim.

Nothing short of spectacular! Tim.

I'll just say, "Holy Crap!" That's sweet! Tim
