Nice Louie!

I particularly like the seagull, so much nebulosity in this image.


Cheers,

Justin.

That Baby Q + reducer is a fine combination, Louie! Lots of detail for a relatively short integration time. Hope you get the rest of the data soon.

[Larryp]

Yes-heaps of detail in those images!

What are you doing in Coonabarabran - you lucky devil. :)

I am looking forward to the final images Louie. Not usually a fan of monochrome images, even in the days of Techpan 2415. However, I think these will look interesting with some colour added and blended.

The B&W looks great, the contrast makes them very aesthetic I recon..?

Good sized field, plenty to work with there Louie :thumbsup:

Thanks Justin.



Thanks Rick....so do I.



Thanks Larry.



Hi Narayan...thanks for the feedback.



Thanks Al.....was there for 6 nights but conditions were very poor mate.



Thanks Paul....yeah I think so too....damn lot of work trying to mosaic with mono cams when your mobile.



Thanks Mike,I want 6 panels around these region but Its going to be hard to get It done in one season I think.

Thanks for the feedback.

What a pity Louie.
I haven't been able to take any images for over 2 months.
There is either a full Moon, or it's cloudy, or it's during a week night
& I have to work the next day.
The cosmic energy will align one day & give me a chance & the same for you in this new year.

cheers

I hear ya Al!you must be so frustrated by now....hopefully 2013 will be better for you!

Happy NY mate.

[alpal]

Thanks Louie,
happy new year & let's hope that everyone who images
will take even better shots & more of them in 2013.

Good luck to all on iceinspace.

cheers

Hi Louie.

Two fantastic B&W photos.

Great detail and beautiful, smooth tones.

The Rosette is my favourite.

Thanks Ross.

Nice work Louie. Good contrast. I would be tempted to get more data as I like deep Ha images.

Cheers

Yes,thanks Steve......much more data needed.
