Thanks, it is a bonus to get skies like this at thistime of the year, normally due to hot weather you cant image because the sky is too turbulent. That is why I have to take advantage of it:)

Awesome images, can I ask in the last one what are the two lines coming from the bottom of the frame up ?
Almost looks like... the jetstream from a plane ?

Aplha, there is a very bright star just outside of the frame and the light from this is spreading across the image and is made worse because some one dropped the secondary mirror last week (the holder and mirror weighs 8 kg)and put a chip in it which adds to the problem but life goes on.

These shots are great.
You reckon you could take some shots of your set up for us? Or give a link to where you have some.
We only have a cheap little 150mm scope so can't really see this stuff.
