Very nice Greg! I love that incredibly wide field.

Nice shot Greg! Lots of stars there!!

Front yard? You must have moved from Kellyville? As I recall the LP from Sydney was pretty bad in Kellyville.

Another beauty Greg. You can surely collect light fast with that set up. My scope is quite slow at F8.35, so it takes quite a while to gather enough photons.

Jeff

Looks nice. (Not anywhere near my zenith, however.)
