Thanks every-one.
I thought this was better than posting my images up one at a time.

Hi Carole....I REALLY liked your video with longer screen time for each photo (sorry didn't see you posted that after I replied first)....looked very professional!! I noticed in one photo of a star party in the first video that you, or someone else, had a tent with the top open.....what brand is that or where can you get one of those? I've never seen one of those actually used, and I don't know if I can use it with my "Wheelie Bars" but it looks like it would sure cut down on wind problems. Anyway, just thought I'd ask....Love your videos!!

Yes that's my Observatory tent, it's great, but I have had to do a number of modifications/improvements to it, so unless you know some-one handy with a sewing machine it might not be for you.

I'll start a new thread on it. I had a real job finding one as most places say out of stick and don;t know when they will get any more, but finally found it on a UK site.

A very wonderful video collage Carol. I appreciate the longer version which definitely helps the viewer. You also added in labels, which I was going to suggest after watching the first one, but with only 3 seconds, it would be difficult to read them and enjoy the image as well. The labels do help because as many objects as most of us know by appearance, many viewers of Youtube would not.

I will also comment on a couple things that stood out to me. In your images of M81, and since I've commented on this with a couple of others who've posted images of that galaxy, I truly love how well you captured the mag 16.5 satellite of M81, Holmberg IX.

Also, I really liked the varied views of the Rosette, presumably through different filters.

Thanks again, for the delightful show.

Very nice job getting the IFN between M81 and M82.

Great job at your first attempt with "best of" video - some nice images in there. As I commented on YouTube (and I see others here as well) more time between images and less images would be my preference.

Top drawer, thanks!

Thank you Carole for this wonderful thread.
I have also appreciated your nicely produced lessons on layers and other tools in processing the AP images.
Thank you for sharing this knowledge.
