[hooky]

Has it got some central heating too???

[spencer_foxwell]

Wow that's awesome

Has it got some central heating too???

It will be heated when not in use to prevent condensation damaging the kit

Latest image is the Iris Nebula

[speedfreek]

Love it! Your work is amazing!

[Jay Tee]

Keep them coming these pictures are amazing

[Petrol]

It's not heated at the moment but in winter, I will probably need something to keep the temps above dew point. I have got 2KG of re usable desiccant in there though which reduces the RH quite a bit

This time of year is not good for taking pics, there are only about 3 hours of darkness and if the truth be known, it never gets really dark. The nights will get longer now though I hope the back end of summer is better, it's like a monsoon out there

M27 - The Dumbbell Nebula

awesome, that actually looks like something out of original Star trek

[frisbee]

The pictures are really quite amazing. It's hard to even imagine that a home setup can capture detail like that.
