I almost forgot i took this same night as M31. I shot before M31, so M31 could get a little higher (nights are getting longer so i took my time).
Anyways i does seem that some sort of a tail is developing... maybe? This guy is getting close to galactic plane so more and more stars in shot!

SkyWatcher HEQ5pro azimuth bolt now removed! The original dremel cut off blade I had was too small, but thankfully, the Dremel starter kit had a larger one and it did the job. Now to swap the cutting blade for a smaller blade again to cut a slot in the top of the bolt so that I can basically unscrew the bolt inside the mount. Fun, fun, fun. Of course, do you think anyone in Australia makes m6 45mm bolts with plastic knobs? Nope...bloody ridiculous. Ordered some off EBay from China, but over a 2 month expected delivery time cos of covid19 and all Chinese based products are now shipping via sea freight...

(Since uploading this, I used the Flickr Picnic tools to, add contrast and sharpen it)

The rising hunter`s supermoon over Mission Peak at sunset. What a sight! This was around Fremont, CA from the Home Depot parking lot. I was here to grab some garden stuff for my new rock garden at home lol. (Tuesday around sunset, October 15, 2024)
*The largest and brightest full moon of 2024 had lit up the skies on Oct. 17, with skywatchers across the globe on hand to capture the lunar face in its full glory. This Hunter's supermoon may have been over a week early for Halloween, but that wasn't going to stop it from putting out some seriously spooky vibes. Supermoons happen because the moon's orbit isn't a perfect circle around earth but is instead an oval, or ellipse. That means that sometimes our lunar companion is closer to us, reaching its closest point to us in what is known as perigee. Other times, it is further away, during what is known as its apogee. When the moon is close to perigee during a full moon, that's a supermoon. The moon arrived at its closest point to earth, sitting at roughly just 221,938 miles away. There have been two supermoons in 2024 thus far, in August and September, and there will be another in November, but October`s Hunter`s supermoon will be the biggest and brightest of 2024. That's because this is the closest occurrence of a perigee to a full moon!

1 Year on from when our group first started thinking about taking images of our night sky. I'm so happy with the results we are now getting.

Its been over a year and a half since i last hit the one up (07-21-2009). So i think a re-shoot was due. I could have used higher ISO, but i had darks and offsets readily available from previous night, so i stuck with ISO 400. It would have been 50 lights, but the autoguider mess up on one of the shots! Hay that's still 98% reliability, ill take it! (Next time I take 51 shots! :D )
