Latest image returned to me from the Bradford Robotic Telescope...not bad eh!!
A bit under exposed, but fairly clear, this one is in grey scale. I want to image the Whirlpool with my own equipment, I know where it is, but just can't see it. Had a nice night in the garden on Friday night, took some images of the Ring Nebula and Hercules Cluster, stayed out till about 3.00am. Amazing...it never goes dark...by 2.45am the sky was light and the stars fading fast.
