Looking good Rick!

Ta Rod. It was the first for a long time. Hoping for a decent Winter this year.

I spent too much time yacking to get decent data on anything in the end.
Will have to check back over the season and see if I have enough RGB on the Rosette to go with my Ha

I guess I should have expected a few things to go wrong without a test at home before driving up to 10CH. At least it was all fixable in the field, Rob. Thanks for the comments and hope you do get that Rosette together!

Cheers,
Rick.

Nice M83 considering the amount of data Rick. A bit of noise certainly but not objectionable in my view.

Cheers

Superb, Steve. The faint outer limits are extremely well captured, even absolutely, not just on a photon-per-hour basis.

M83 has a tiny but extremely bright multi-lobed active nucleus, which processing to get the faint stuff just right seems to have lost. I wonder if a reprocess could recover it?

Very best,
Mike

I'm hoping to get some more data and then I will reprocess more carefully. I'll see if I can show the nucleus better in my final version. Thanks for the feedback, Mike.

Cheers,
Rick.

That's looking very well Rick.
I'm looking forward to see the final work.

Thanks, Geert. I'm hoping desperately for an improvement in the weather next new moon

Nice Rick. Perhaps the saturation needs a bit of a push.

Yep, more data needed but looking very good so far Rick!

I do like what Ceravolo can do!

Cheers, Marcus

Thanks, Geoff. I was perhaps a bit too restrained. The final version will be more neon

Thanks, Marcus. It was good to see some decent detail. Seeing wasn't too terrible for a change

[Shiraz (Ray)]

well worth doing Rick - looks very tidy for the exposure.

[RickS (Rick)]

Thanks, Ray.
