    Only had that particular scope for about a month...true to form the clouds Rolled in for the first few weeks lol. I also have a 10" Dob reflector, that is awesome, but I haven't used it for about 10 years and is in the shed - it takes about 30 mins to put up and another to put down and is visual only. This one is purely for astroi-maging. The moon (which btw is a right pain when it is up for deep sky imaging due to the light) hasn't been rising till after about midnight recently, but I took one recently. That whirlpool galaxy image is 91 mins of 10 second exposures, stacked. Over the last few nights I have been imaging it for about 45 mins each night and soon I'l have about 4 hours worth of photos. I'll stack them then and it will be almost Hubble like after a bit of post processing.

    The moon the other night - was a quick shot.

    We found this happy looking seagull in the Colosseum this week.

    The wife declared it her favourite picture of the day. Bear in mind we'd had a scorching day wandering around said arena, the forum and palatine hill taking numerous pictures....

    Mine got a bit squiffy later in the day due to stopping for wine as often as was socially acceptable in between locations

    My last Astro pic I promise. I have post processed the sun from yesterday. The sun isn’t actually orange but almost white, but I added an orange tint to it to make it look more what we expect. The surface detail is amazing I think.

    It was a 5 second video then stacked to enhance.

    Emperor dragonfly hatched from my pond. Don't usually see emperors so that's 6 different species I've seen in the garden this year plus 4 or 5 damsel fly species

    I find dragonflies a nightmare to identify, partly due to differences between male and female and similarity of the species 1but also the speed at which they move .

    What were the others species please ?
