Tibbz2 Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 You need to go onto your photo, in the bottom right there is a box with an arrow coming out of it. Click on that, then select the "grab html/bb code" tab, then select BB Code at the bottom, and use that link! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allan the Plumber Posted October 20, 2013 Author Share Posted October 20, 2013 Very nice, especially M45, I do like it with spikey stars. Thanks Col I guess the spikey stars are a by product of a Newtonian Reflector but I agree with you Col it does make the image look flash All I need to do some others will be clear skies and luck as I won't of got that far with out the help of EMS at Kelling at home in the dark I bet I don't get anything like that again Thanks Allan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah know what you mean Ron I had help from Colin, Noel and Rob that Sunday at Kelling I need to do a task several times to get it fixed in the brain and since getting home form Kelling I've not had the scope out once Will probably spend the first evening out trying to get everything to work,Colin did say "don't forget how it works its down to you next time" or words to that effect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
