Really pushed the limits of the gear I have with this one, A severe crop of 20 x 60 seconds. Interesting in that there are no less than a dozen galaxies in this image.
And this one with a couple of bits of Elon's space junk going through it... 
Newlands Valley Pass
And this is a single image, that demonstrates the size of this galaxy , if you could see it with the unaided eye. taken at dusk with a tree in the foreground.
Well I found a camera, not really what I was looking for but so far so good, I found a lowish shutter count D800 for a good price, first impressions were that its a beast, bulky and fairly heavy, but stuck on the back of a 150-600 this actually works and balances well. the other benefits are 36mp and the same battery as the Z, also FX. The autofocus is far quicker than my Z too. Not yet tried it for astro though. It is unknown if it will talk to my asiair through a usb cable, and so far I have not found anyone that has tried it on the asiair mini..

This was the sky yesterday morning when I was out with the dogs.
Talking Photography here. It's not normally in my nature to endorse any products, I believe that the product should provide the purpose it built for, a toaster should make toast, and not beautifully cooked rice, However Ill be the first to complain if a product doesn't do as its supposed to . I have bought French stuff made in Singapore, Japanese stuff made in Taiwan, American stuff made in China. I have even been known to buy German stuff made in America . But it's not often I come across something that was made in the country it was actually made in, unless its unashamedly Chinese. So I bought a British tripod, because my last one was Italian and made in the Philippines. I was surprised to find out that it WAS actually made in Britain..It is a great bit of kit, it does everything it's supposed to, design and function beautifully integrated with ergonomics, and top quality construction and machining. Easily handling my 600mm on the D800 to my surprise. all three legs come off to make mono-pods, or selfy sticks if your vanity is getting the best you, or your the type that will drive 200km to take a picture of yourself standing by the car . Small compact unit. Top marks for the 3 Legged thing, twice the price of a Chinese knock off, but worth every cent IMHO. 
to British design and implementation, marketing is pretty cool too...

In a lot of applications you what you get what you pay for or something like that, just so worth spending that bit extra for quality but also knowing what your buying helps as there’s so much over priced and hyped stuff. Research always the key. Nice to see something from motherland appreciated. Look forward to your next batch of pics.
appreciated. Look forward to your next batch of pics.
