Hi
I have had a few opportunities to get some imaging done over the last month and have captured three images all in the HST palette. The first is of Ced214/NGC7822, the second is of Sh2-157 and neighbours and the third is of IC405/410. All were taken with the Televue NP127is/FLI Atlas-CentreLine-PL16803 prototype system that I am testing on a Paramount ME with an Officine Stellare Falco/lodestar guiding combination. Exposure times varied between 10 and 14 hours per image.
The full size versions can be seen at the following links

Nice shots there, Gordon :)

Geez, 10-14 hours per image. Something must be up...it's never that clear in England!!!! :) :P You weren't hanging the scope out the window of a passing A380, were you? :) :P

I am Mike, ever since I started using this system I've been getting consistently good results without having to tweak anything. It's performing brilliantly

I hasten to add that each image took 3-4 nights to gather the data so this is a total of 10-12 nights of data gathering. i have gathered 12.5 hours of Ha data on one subject in one evening before but that has occured once in the 7 years that i've been imaging
