Images from Binbrook

Well, it was a nice night at Binbrook – a half dozen or so members showed up with a variety of scopes and binoculars. I did my usual and spent most of the evening imaging – I haven’t processed any of the shots yet, but having glanced at the images as I downloaded it would appear I have good shots of Andromeda Galaxy, the Leo Trio Galaxies (M65, M66, NGC3628), the Sombrero Galaxy, the Crab Nebula, and M3 (globular cluster). Once I’ve had time to process the images I will post them. Anyhow, it’s been a late night and I’ve got work tomorrow.

Update Monday March 27/06
I’ve processed the Leo Trio and they turned out well with all 3 galaxies in the field of view this time. I’ve started with the others and will post them to my gallery tonight. Andromeda, which was rather low on the Western (or North Western?) horizon, is seriously lacking contrast and in the end did not turn out to be a very good – only the core showed to an appreciable amount.
