Awsome.

Hi Phil

Thanks for the feedback - I'll double check as it is so easy to see what you want to see. Smile

Cheers

Dennis

UPDATE:
Sigh, you're correct Phil, I hadn't zoomed in enough on the star field and when I did, Pluto popped out from the star Tycho 6892:511 which is mag 8. I think the 15mm lens, 30 secs at ISO 1600 managed to record down to mag 10, so no Pluto for me. Sad

The other brighter star in the circle is HIP 98575 at mag 6.

Thanks and good pick up, Clyde can rest easily now. Smile

Cheers

Dennis
