Brendan,

Pretty good for 20 minutes. What does SBS stand for?

This image has come up very nicely Brendan. Do you have anywhere to post a high res version to take a look at. The compression doesn't do your image any favours.
Great looking stars,colour,guiding and overall processing.
Well done.

Yep roger it was another all nighter, though the start of the night was a bit furry, the wind was howling though so i backed the fagma upto the scope (within a 50cm of the tripod) and opend the boot for protection against the elements worked well in my opinion. using the SBS setup i think i had a problem with balance in the DEC which caused some greif! but ill do some testing and run it with the H alpha in town over the next few weeks.!

Yes Astro, it was taken close to 2 1/2 hrs from perth its a very dark site!

Hi Brendan, well it might have been 3 MB when you uploaded it but it is only 533KB when you look at the size of it andthe stars show up very undersampled and quite square when you try to blow it up a bit.
I only wanted to have a look at the core. Homunculus.

I was running iso 800 the whole night, sometimes i drop it down to 400 or 200 depending on the brightness of the object just to help with noise. and yes the eq6 is good for 20 min guided shots. so 10 is a walk in the park

Nice one Brendan!

If you ever start taking DSO astro requests I'd like to add witch head nebulae on the list.
