I've used your Alluma Ha as a benchmark since you posted it, tried to get close but I cannot quite get there with my tiny 5" :P

You've set some very nice benchmarks!

I'll get there with my 85mm...mark my words :lol:

It's just gonna take 6X as long, and I might yet need an H-a filter...

Rita the Eta eater??!! OMG :lol:



Me too....I suspect it's been imaged with a FSQ/AP/Synta/Celestron/Meade/Royal/Cave/Tasco/TMB/Planewave/Orion/etc.
many times before now ;)....maybe even a KAF16803 chip :eyepop:

H-alpha...and don't forget to photoshop :D



Ta muchly. Pretty much all in one place now :thumbsup:



Benchmarks? Too kind. Nothing wrong with a good 5" either. :thumbsup:

That fourth and final frame is just brilliant.

Too kind...all re-treads I know....but, like Ayers Rock (or Uluru, depending on when you went to school ) it is one of nature's spectacles that drags me back time and again :thumbsup:

Amazing photos Peter!

Sharpness, colour, detail, composition...excellent!

You are setting a new benchmark for quality on this forum.

Too kind Ross. The standard of some of the images on IIS has been going
up like a homesick angel of late. (e.g. M&T's and Paul's recent narrow field work)

Nice to be still marking benches :)

Sensational work Peter:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

Was the FSQ data blurred at all for the 16" data?or did you only sharpen the 16" data?It's not what I would call a subtle blend....more of a high impact blend.

Peter Ward

Ta Louie...the FSQ data and RC16 data was "as is" i.e. no blur or sharpening.
While it is a great wide field scope, the intrinsic resolution of the FSQ is simply limited by its aperture...it is just 4" after all.

BTW it's easy to see when a low res image has been "enhanced" with other data ....stars become remarkably smaller and fainter than elsewhere in the field.

That series of images really is the Bees Knees.

Very very cool

Now, can you do something about the resolution on your new avatar as I can’t for the sake of me see what he is reading?
