These were taken last night using a small 80mm refracting telescope, tracked but not guided.. Even though the moon was out, you can still get pretty good images. 3200 ISO, for around 3 minutes. No dark frames, noise reduction etc etc..
Can you see the running man in this one?
Lots of stars and gas in this region of the sky

Holy crapola, these are fantastic!!! Love them both.
Is the little man in the bottom glowing bit?? I thought I could see him there. Or am I as deluded as Rel?

Yes, the running man is found in the little blue nebula at the bottom of the first image, if you concentrate on the dak pattern - there he is!!!

Paul, why dont you come and use the scope at stockport? Do you want me to give you a ring when I go up next time?

Oh, I'm planing too Virgs. Just need to get my butt out the door and up there!
(do I still need to get a T-ring for my 350D or would one be available up there?)
Have you visited
MalleeSky Observatory near Loxton?

Paul, no need both Ian, Blair and I have one and we all carry them when we go up so save some dollars.. Arthur has one for the nikon. If I do not go to Arkaroola I will probably go up next weekend but am available during the week as I am on holidays - yes again. Let em know.
