Yea Arron what telescope do you have?
I have a Celestron SCT 8 which I have had since early 1980's
Converted it to computer control a few years ago but I haven't used it for awhile.
Used to be a member of the Astronomical Society of NSW for over 20years and I traveled
to the dark skies site up at Sofala every New Moon to do deep sky
astrophotography. Back then we used photographic film which had been soaked in
Nitrogen gas to increase sensitivity. Now they use CCD chips and much smaller exposure times.
Been thinking that I should take the telescope down to McCoy one night and do a bit of casual observing.
