Nice colours, Tim! At the larger res the stars don't look quite right to me.

Cheers,

I guess you are a long way north so some of these northern hemisphere objects are accessible to you. Not jealous - much!

Very nice image. Do you have 2 separate imaging platforms going or do you swap the gear around?

Hi Greg,
Thanks. Yes, I am very fortunate to have two platforms going all the time. One 4.75M focal length and the other 1.268M focal length -

Platform 1: Keller 0.5M Classical Cassegrain on an ASA DDM85 Premium mount in a 3.5M Sirius Dome, Camera PL16803, Pyxis rotator, MegaMOAG off axis guiding with ST-i, FLI LRGBHaS2O3 filters.

Platform 2: BRC250 on a PME in a 2.3M Sirius Dome, Camera PL16803, Guide Scope with ST-i, FLI LRGBHaS2O3 filters.

This target is reachable up here......:)

I would be very happy to have a Honder ....:D.

All the very best, and as always, your help over the years now, has been appreciated very much!

Cheers,
Tim
