| jpg | 2021/10/25 | Finally got the remote shutter cable for the Sky Adventurer mount to control the camera - now about to set the camera and leave it to work its magic… after a bit of post-processing ended up with two fairly reasonable pictures of the Milky Way from the back garden… |
 | 2021/10/03 | First time setting up and trying my newly acquired Sky Adventurer tracking mount. Just a couple of images to prove that it was assembled correctly and working. |
 | 2021/09/21 | Only a few worthwhile images this evening, but I did manage to get a reasonable image of Jupiter rising between the trees at the bottom of our garden, as well as the most detailed starfield image that I've been able to get with a single exposure so far. |
 | 2021/09/19 | A darker evening with very little cloud. Got some clearer images looking back East as well as South West. Trying a range of different exposure lengths and find 20 seconds is pretty much the sweet spot before elongation of stars begins at around the 25 second mark. |
 | 2021/09/18 | A later set of images taken around midnight Saturday/Sunday. Much clearer skies and very little cloud cover. Much more recogniseable constellations and some nice images framed by the trees in our garden. |
 | 2021/09/16 | First proper time trying out various ISO speeds and exposure times. A couple of decent images including one with very light cloud cover side-lit by a late setting-sun. |
 | 2021/09/15 | First time out trying my tripod mount and wide-angle lens. Just some basic tests to ensure that things are working. |
