Re: Some images this summer

Posted By Edward Roach

Some very nice images Robert. I know how you feel about having a poor summer. Until the 13th of September, I had gone five months with poor conditions. I hope this upcomimg waning Moon is very kind to you.

Hi all,

The latest from September 13th. I wish I had also captured Ptolemaeus and Alphonsus, it would have made a nice mosaic under these seeing conditions, oh well maybe next time.
