Voyager It Is

The stars are with the voyager
Wherever he may sail;
The moon is constant to her time;
The sun will never fail;
But follow, follow round the world,
The green earth and the sea;
So love is with the lover's heart,
Wherever he may be.

The Stars Are With The Voyager by Thomas Hood

I have done a lot of imaging since the last post and in particular, I have been giving Voyager a real workout. On that front, I decided that it was well worth the money to purchase it and that is now my main image acquisition software. I use it in tandem with TheSkyX Pro and PHD2.

Recently I have switched over to using my AT8RC at the native f/8 for Galaxy season. I get a little resolution by doing so.

Before that I was using the AT8RC at around f/5.9. Here are some of the images I took.
