That is quite a selection of images Richard.
   
  I set my scope up on the balcony in January and have only been able to use it 3-4 times. there were a few other clear nights, but I was busy on them. Wish I would have done this last year too. next year, I'll set it up on the balcony in late November and get an early start.

this year was the first time I shot NO images in January and it is getting
close to the end of March and haven't shot any this month yet either but I
did "sacrifice" two nights to do visual....
