    Cheers bud, how have you been? I did have a pond when we moved in but just wanted a blank canvas before designing the garden. 😊

    Great video Tom. Really enjoy your style. I think that was a satellite you caught. BUT you never know, maybe aliens taking a tour! Keep up the great videos. Best regards Luis in NY

    Hey Luis, thank you for your comment, appreciate your feedback ☺️ I have never seen anything like this before so thought I’d ask. It’s a satellite but love the idea of Alians taking a tour 😂

    Been ok mate , I have been doing visual astronomy for many years but only visual well sort of visual, I watch the sky on a 42-inch TV using an old watec 120n camera and a 102mm ED refractor from Altair astro the accent range on a AVX mount, also use a ETX 125 mounted on the AVX for the moon and planets combined with a 178ccd camera and sharpcap for live stacking using a mini pc with remote connection to a tablet.

    That would be a Geostationary Satellite at the end of the video you were asking about. Can I ask you, why are you imaging with ASI Studio? In all my years doing this hobby you are the first person that I've come across who uses ASI Studio for imaging. You have all the gear including an electronic focuser, get into NINA it does everything for you then bin your Baht mask 🙂

    Thanks for commenting, great I wasn’t sure what it was 🤷🏻‍♂️ I’ve only been doing this for about a year now so I’m still so new to it all, I haven’t a clue how to use Nina but I have been meaning to start using it, I’ll do a video of using Nina as a complete noob and embarrass myself 😂
