NGC 2442 Meathook Galaxy
Finally got the last subs to finish this off, it only took 3 months under sometimes less than ideal conditions. Best 30 subs from 40 total subs of each filter @ 15 minutes each for a total integration time of 22.5 hrs. At some point I will get some L subs as a pseudo L didn't look better than the RGB.

Looks pretty good Shane, nice colours and quite a few extra galaxies as well. A lot of dedication hanging in there for 3 months to get it finished.

Huge effort Shane. Nice and deep with plenty of background fuzzies too.

That's beautiful Shane. Congratulations on a job well done, and on having an awesome amount of patience.
I just take single shot "Happy Snaps" of the areas of sky that I've visited (just for my own records) and I can't imagine how much dedication goes into producing results like that. Applause from me.

That's awesome. Loads of detail and very deep. Good to see more images from an RC8. We don't see a lot of them.

Cheers Kevin, I love my RC. I'm not sure I'd change to any other type of scope if given a choice.
