Thanks Tim
I agree, I also see a flying parrot but who am I to try and change the name on a technicality ...it's definitely not a running chicken
Good question re using the 12" and SX camera again... ...eventually

Great pictures Mike,
I like the Ha version too.
The colour one is slightly too saturated for my liking but that's artistic license.
Funny title.
As for those seagulls - yes - I have actually had a seagull steal a chip
from the fish & chips I had on some paper on my lap -
down at Frankston beach once -
the cheeky devils just fly in & pinch one in front of your nose
cheers

LOL Mike,
I got home tonight and the colour looks correct on my home monitor.
It's not a bit saturated - it looks about right.
Every monitor is different.
There are lots of videos on Youtube of thieving seagulls.
cheers

Somehow missed this one but it’s awesome!! I need 9 panels to get this FOV... or a little bigger anyway. Definitely going to have to visit this one at some point, never imaged the Chip Theif.

Ha ha, I know Col, images slip under the radar sometimes, I do it often myself no hard feelings . I'm scared of mosaics...hence why I got the FSQ for my 16803 ..aaand maaate, if I wanna go even wider, heck, I will just buy the 645 reducer! after that?...I dunno...a camera lens

Ah it's just the thrill of a new system ...It'll wear off at some stage. Have to say, imaging with the FSQ-ProLine rig is just so bloody easy and the results so good seeing isn't an issue, guiding is perfect, focuser works great, no image tilt issues, the field is flat over a massive area and the camera provides clean noise free frames...crazy easy, anyone could do it, I feel like I am cheating somehow, it's almost embarrassing ...be the perfect rig for remote operations, definitely a set and forget outfit then....
Mike
