Another excellent night up in Tobermory. This time I started by imaging the setting moon and Venus while my dad and brother toured the sky with my GoTo.
Then I decided to do some visual observing for awhile too – such clear dark skies. Before packing up I shot 3 five minute and 1 ten minute exposure of a portion of the Virgo Galaxy Cluster. On the full sized original I can make out over 30 positive matches for galaxies and about a dozen or so maybe’s.
