Say hello to the Skull and Crossbones nebula. Also known as NGC 2467. I think it has proven to be a little too distant for a 150mm telescope to handle. I might have to revisit it with a longer lens sometime, but for now this will have to do.

I took some more time to get to know my new bit of kit last night, particularly scheduled shoots. I am going to chalk it up to learning settings, because I had several target shots and none of them came out the best they could. I took a photo of the Pleiades and didn’t really get much of the associated nebulosity. But at least I can find targets and my alignment wasn’t askew.

I had a little bit of a snafu with my server and had to reinstall WordPress from a backup. Which didn’t have the media files on it.
Because I am an idiot.
Over time I’ll repopulate my posts with some images, but it’s been a wee bit of an effort to get back to this stage already.
