The evening of 10th of October was clear and I decided to venture up to Fernilee reservoir for an imaging session. My main target was Comet Hartley again, but it was so clear and the Milky Way was visible from horizon to horizon so, I decided to image it with the DSlR on a driven equatorial mount. These were 120 second images and no CLS filter was used or darks and flats taken, maybe next time. This means there is a degree of noise in these images, but I thought they were'nt bad for a site no more than ten miles from Stockport and Macclesfield. Comet Hartley as a fuzzy green spot can be located below the double cluster in Perseus. There are many deep sky delights within these images the longer you look the more you see, take you time to browse.
Thank you Paul.
