One of the fun things about having a new telescope is that you get a year of re-imaging all the favorites to see how good it is. I acquired these data over three nights this week, although the moon washed out most of the thursday results.
5 minute subs LRGB, totalling about 10 hours under heavy light pollution.
Scope is a 16"f3.6 newtonian, camera a QSI683.

Huh, talk about shooting against the odds :eyepop:....still, certainly shows plenty of promise from your amazing kit...and besides, I guess you were in the pool while this was being collected anyway?..Saudi Arabian imaging :lol:

Very nice Andrew. The galaxy and the stars could do with some more colour but the details are all there.

Cheers Greg - it's definitely worth a stretch to see.


Cheers Mike - Bad seeing may have been caused by a Pizza oven operating near the dome, but I was definitely supervising things from a floating beer lounge for some of those subs.
Now to get rid of all the other 2 million people intruding on my dark sky!

Shows a lot of promise, Andrew. Shame about the light pollution, but the 16" would be killer for NB imaging :thumbsup:
