Thanks, Suavi. I guess it shows that aperture (and Martin's disciplined acquisition technique) counts when you're chasing tiny fuzzies

Very nice Rick. Great detail.

No need to hide Suavi you're quite correct but I am still happy to see I got as close as I did with hardly any data in what were below average seeing conditions....love to have Martins rig, it's a beauty..maybe I should hire it too?..he is not far from me actually ..maybe I can hack into his Wi Fi

Have you tried "admin/1234" yet? I read a recent article about the security of cargo ships and it turns out that a significant number of them still have the default passwords on their network gear. Even worse, many don't have separation between their comms network and the production networks that run the ship.

Thanks, Tim. Hope I haven't set expectations too high

Nice Rick but I only really want to see the big one.

By the way I saw on Rob Gendlers' site an example of M83 from pro observatory data showing a large stream of stars I think its a fair way above M83.

Greg.

That would be this star stream perhaps...?...I caught it with the 6" Starfire back in 2011

Hi Greg, I'm working on it The star stream is faintly visible and I think it's responsible for the dark ring that mny of us see around M83.

Nice one, Mike. I hadn't seen that image of yours before.

Yep, been revealing super faint sheet in my data for many years mate, even without ion milled optics ...so far just two of them have been brand new though

Yeah, those photons look just a little rough
