Kev,
Looks like the new Astro Cam and Guiding is a winner!
One minute subs... you’ve left us in your wake back here from the beginners pool.
Power to you!

What a great looking galaxy photo Kevin.


Nice detail and colours.


You and the new camera are starting to zoom!


Keep them coming.


Ross.

Thanks Martin! I wasn't sure how this would be received as the processing is somewhat unconventional, but I think I like it this way.



Thanks Anthony! My DSLR is gathering dust... Actually the DSLR will make a good landscape IR camera.



Thanks Ross! Looks like some weather is on the way. Hope it clears after the full moon goes.

The more the merrier :) Nicely done, Kevin.

Thanks Rick. It's definitely NGC253 season.

Lovely detail Kevin. Nice one!

[cometcatcher]

Thanks Rodney. My new LRGB filters arrived today so this will be the last shot using visual RGB filters.

That is VERY VERY respectable!

We’ll done Kevin,
Plenty of details and kudos for pushing a 10” tube with a HEQ5!

Thanks Lewis and Bo. As long as the HEQ5 is balanced it seems to be okay.

That's a lovey 253 Kevin.
You've taken to your new camera like a duck to water. :thumbsup:

Thanks Pete. Have to see what this thing can do with a dark sky and real filters when the moon clears.
