Really nice image. Well done!

So colourful! Very nice indeed.

That's a lovely image, your processing has brought out great colours and nice cropping. One of the best I've seen taken through a 6 inch.

Thanks for you comments, my avg seeing for this night was 2.5 arc sec. So I do have clear skies. Each time I use my new camera on my 6". I surprise my self on how good the images come out.

Can't wait to start building my observatory with all new gear. I wounder what I could do with a Ha filter if I get good OSC images now.

That's a ripper. Excellent colour and definition. Best I've seen with a 6" too.

Brilliant star colour, and smooth nebulosity. Perfect shot.
You must be very keen to get your Observatory established. You have clearly got your workflow down pat to produce this sort of quality. Well done benklerk!

[rcheshire (Rowland)]

+1 Lovely work.

[Camelopardalis (Dunk)]

That's a cracking Trifid, well done

Honestly cannot see any detail difference in the nebular, but the colour is brighter and looks better.

[cometcatcher (Kevin)]

Colours are nicer (especially the blues) in the second one.
