    Hi Simon, beautiful images nicely put together, your early imaging location reminds me of a location my brother and I used to visit near Warminster Wilts, he was really into the UFO stuff, the town being famous for it, he also living there during the flap in the 60s/70s, although both keen on astronomy and me being younger I had the more rational approach😁, but have to say he was still a devil on the violin. As it happens I to was recently imaging the North America Neb, but using 2 panels in Nina 585MC & 62ED, a bit close, but showing interesting detail in the selected areas. Atb regards Tom.

    Great video Simon and great final images as usual. I've got a very similar set-up to your portable rig in this video, just got a Pegasus PowerBox today in the post - do you just run that straight out of the Jackery and then run the ASIAir+ and mount off the power box? I tried running my HEQ5-PRO off the DC ports of my Jackery 500 and found the lower voltage caused my guiding to go wildly off so had to resort to using the mains plug of the Jackery with an AC to DC adapter.

      Yeah, my Jackery 500 powers the Pegasus power box Advance, and that powers everything! I’ve never had a problem with it, not even when it used to run the EQ6R Pro, before I put it in the obsey! The battery lasts a full imaging session and usually has 40-50% power left in the morning! Hope that helps mate! Thanks for watching and clear skies👍
