IMPORTANT: New Procedure for Non-Astro "Chat" 5 messages
#Chat
Had a minor brain-wave this morning. To solve the problem of folks being inundated with Non-Astro emails, PLEASE can you now include:- #Chat in the subject line of any message which isn't Astronomical
Had a minor brain-wave this morning. To solve the problem of folks being inundated with Non-Astro emails, PLEASE can you now include:- #Chat in the subject line of any message which isn't Astronomically related. Anyone wishing to still receive individual emails form the group, but who wants to filter out any #Chat messages, can do so by going to:- https://groups.io/g/AstroLeeds/hashtags & clicking on the "Mute" button in the relevant "Chat" box. (First time users of the web interface though will have to log-in / create a password first) Hope this is acceptable to folks who have a predilection for one side of the Chat/Non-Chat side of things. Cheers, Ivor

Slightly better sky last night. I could just see Ursa Major near the zenith. Pathetic really but that’s my sky! All Messier objects. Two of them have distant companions in the same half degree field.

It is half-Moon(ish) time again and given that I am not prepared to wait up until the Moon sets I have decided to do some lunar photography. This has had a 3-fold benefit tonight: I can start a couple

NGC2841 - from last night 7 messages
Rough process of NGC2841 from last night. Only 1hour 27mins with the Skywatcher 200dps + Canon 600d, as we were dodging clouds for a large period. It'll need reprocessing at some point as the brighter
