Very nice tony.

Have you found a suitable focal reducer yet for the 200R?

[Striker]

Nope Andrew,

I decided I was going to get the CCDT67 from Astro physics but boy you should see what you need to do just to buy a $200 focal reducer....it's about time they got with the times and set up an account on Paypal.....I felt like I was buying a house and needed a solicitor present....lol

[Astroman]

Thats a pretty darn good price. Hope it works out for you, just looked at the AP website.

[EzyStyles]

amazing tony! You guys seem to get all the excellent weather. thats heaps of details esp in the pillars and the stars once again are puffy circles. I like it.

[seeker372011]

great shot.your set up is delivering consistently fine results

[davidpretorius]

brilliant!

[xelasnave]

You gotta be happy with that... congratulations on a fine capture and process

Ok Tony. So how did you fit the Hubble into that tiny little shed. Or do you have a slide off roof for the house now:confuse2:

Fantastic shot mate :2thumbs:

[acropolite]

Very nice Tony, must be that good weather I bought up from Tassie last week...:P

[tornado33]

very nice indeed, the HA makes the dark globules show up well.
He can easily fit the hubble in his shed as its the Tardis observatory, as we all know a Tardis is bigger on the inside than outside lol.
Yes theres good weather up there, but not here, looks like we wont see any night sky till well into next week over Newcastle :(

[RB]

Wow that's a stunning image Tony.

Well done my friend.
:eyepop:

[Striker]

Thanks guys,

Well the weather has turned...rain till early next week.

It's not my fault I bought nothing.

[Itchy]

Yea, Yea.... This is punishment for all that gear you bought last month! :D

Great shot by the way!!

[hevelsky]

Wow :eyepop:
It's an amazing shot !!!!!
Well done Tony :thumbsup:

[Striker]

Thanks Guys,

But I still like my Colour version better.

[beren]

Wow thats just fantastic :thumbsup:

{ps can you hunt some galaxies :D }

[seeker372011]

had to go back and check but ....you are right, I think the colour version is ahead in a "photo finish" --LOL I kill myself sometimes

[hevelsky]

Hi Tony,
the color version is excellent :eyepop: :thumbsup:

[Striker]

I have done a few lately that I posted....1 with full moon NGC4945 with bright moon and one faint galaxy not a particuly exciting galaxy M61.

Imaging galaxy's at F10 I am finding the exposures need to be very very long to get any detail but saying that I will keep going until I find a decent focal reducer.

PS hahah seeker

[RB]

Well done Tony. :painting:

:lol2: @ Narayan

[ving]

thats cool tony :)
an edgel preserving smooth in psp will remover the graininess (if desired)

[Striker]

Thanks Ving...their is many ways to remove the grain but whilst doing so you will lose detail in the nebula....I didn't take as many shots with the HA image...that is why their is more grain in HA then the coloured version...double the exposure were done for the colour.

Thanks Guys.

I think that out cameras are disadvantaged with imaging in one colour (like H alpha) as only the red pixels are activated, the blue and green ones arent, so we are only getting roughly a 3rd of our sensors, where as a dedicated monochrome camera like a SBIG or Starlight Xpress one will deliver full sensor information no matter broad or narrowband imaging

[Striker]

True Scott but I like the price of a DSLR compared to a tiny chip CCD.

Something with a CCD chip size the size of a DSLR chip costs over $10000 5 times the price. so you would most definelty want the camera to perform well at that cost.

[tornado33]

Yes indeed. Id only see me owning a SBIG camera, particularily a large format chip one if I won lotto LOL.

[venus]

both versions of your pic are great Tony.
here's an article on comparisons of cameras http://www.dansdata.com/gz059.htm I found recently......
