3 Disk Montage - 1st May


3 Disk Montage, originally uploaded by Mark Townley.

Despite clear skies here in the West Midlands we are buffeted by gusting and at times quite strong winds. As a result imaging at longer focal lengths with the 127mm scope isn't an option. So for today, the 1st of may, observations were restricted to using the smaller, lighter 70mm refractor. Each of the images that make up this montage was in turn made up from several frames in the form of a mosaic.

Clicking on the image in this blog, and then again on the image in Flickr will let the viewer see this image in it's original full size, which is pretty big and well worth doing!!!
