Camera Mods & John's Blog

John's images have made it obvious that getting my camera modified with a replacement filter was going to be neccessary to stand much chance at getting decent results on red emission nebula. I have now taken the plunge and committed the camera into the hands of someone who I hope is very adept at accomplishing this somewhat complicated and fraught looking task. I looked at some instructions on the internet at how to carry out the procedure and it looked positively scarey....definite dustbin job if I had attempted it!
I was pleased to receive a message from John saying that his Ouse Valley Observatory now has its own blog which can be found here.....It will be good to see some more MK astro images on line.
