Dhruva Suresh shot this epic image of the setting Milky Way in New Zealand with the Star Adventurer
Dhruva says:
After a bit of pre planning that evening, I went back in the night to get this particular shot. When I started shooting, the crescent moon was still in the sky but just a few degrees above the horizon which sort of lit the mountain from behind. Luckily, the wind started picking up and clouds rolled over just after Rho Ophiucus aligned with the tip of the mountain.

John McLennan captured NGC 253-the Silver Coin Galaxy with the EQ6-Pro mount
John says:
Here it is the first image off the new 294mc and asiair pro. It was a bit of a learning curve on the weekend, windy, and the moon, but I still had to have a go.
NGC 253-the Silver Coin galaxy. Didn't get much time on this only about 2 hours or so. Its a great camera to pick up all this detail in those conditions.
I think I'm going to like this set up.
