M52 Scorpion Cluster and M103



M103 (top) and M52 (lower)
Here are a couple more images taken on 7th August. Again, widefield views with the Canon 350D and ST80.

There is a nice piece of software called DSLR Shutter which allows the camera to take multiple exposures of any length. Problem is...it appears to work from an RS232 port which my laptop has not got. I'm trying to find a way of using a USB port, but if i'm also controlling the scope and i'm not sure if another USB - RS232 converter will work.

Well, Summer continues to be anything but! Now we have winds from the North, clouds and cool...and I mean COOL. Last weekend it rained non-stop...and i'm getting a bit fed up!

Bank Holiday Weekend coming up, you know what Bank Holiday weather is like!

I wonder if for once it could be nice?
