Well I finally found a site with a nice Southern exposure only 2 minutes away in a school ground. As you know, the near full moon was near the meridian but I managed to pull it off and got this result. Here's the first shot...M20 aka the Trifid Nebula. This was taken with my Original Orion Starshoot and my SkyWatcher 650mm F5 reflector. 15 Exposures @ 100 seconds, guided with PHD. -------------------- Scopes: Meade SC-8AT w UHTC Orion ST-80 Refractor (Autoguiding) SkyWatcher 5" F/5 Reflector SkyWatcher 127mm MAK Mount: HEQ5 Pro Cameras: Orion Starshoot DS Colour Imager V.1 Imaging Source Webcam DMK21AU04.AS Canon XSi 450D Unmodded Palm TX PDA w Astromist and Bluetooth wireles control.
