Looks like there was a lot of horsing around at Astrofest this year. Fantastic image and I particularly like the colour and detail in the Flame Nebula.

[Placidus]

Aye, the flame nebula looks particularly fine.

:thumbsup: Giddy up

[Imme]

Interested to know what your capture details were David....sub length and how many???.

[troypiggo]

Based on the snoring coming across the field, I assume he just falls asleep with his face on the keyboard and nose on the capture button and when he wakes up and lifts his head, it’s done. :P

Those colours are really vibrant and you've captured some beautiful details. :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup: I had not much luck with the HH. It was bloody cold in the morning Tuesday and Wednesday and all my USB cables froze and pulled out contacts on/off then the laptop chuck a fit. Still got a couple of hours overall but with the RASA it's like in dog years. :lol:

thanks just did a repro,

its an eclectic mix of 1, 5 ,10, 20, 30, 60, 90 and 300 second shots all put into the mix then lovingly baked in Pixinsight, the gain of the ASI071 was set to 240 total exposure time was 3h32m30sec the shorter subs would be 10 frames each with the majority 300 sec shots.

so i can easily make out my cables going to the camera:rofl::question:

[RB]

Oh, I'm going to need some time go through all your images Dave.
Wow !!
You had fun, didn't you !!
Fantastic mate.
You're really cook'n with that scope.

[Andy01]

The repro is good looking Horsy - Giddyap! :D

[h0ughy]

Prepared for the photon stakes :lol:

[Retrograde]

Very nice horsey there. Did you leave any photons for the others or did the RASA suck them all up? :lol:

[h0ughy]

No it shared them

[RB]

He didn't even leave any dark matter Pete.

:lol:

[ozstronomer]

Detail in the flame is wonderful :thumbsup:
