Sh2-114, The Flying Dragon Nebula in Cygnus.


FSQ 106
AP Mach1


Voyager Software- just starting with this after having problems with SGPro autofocusing, well worth the change, great software. The Web Dashboard is awesome.

I found this hard to process as it disappears in a very deep starfield, some one more skilled than I could do it justice.
Being close to the equator does have its benefits, more northern targets available.

yeah, nice one!

From other images I've seen of this, it does seem a toughie to pull detail from... I reckon you've done well there~!

Lots of people seem to rate Voyager highly... anything in particular that is standing out as better, or just an overall thing?

Thanks, it was hard.
Roboguide and Robofocus are fantastic, very stable and accurate, yes, an overall thing. For the first time i can set up a nights imaging and walk away with confidence. SGPro although very good did not give me this confidence and support did leave a little bit to be desired. Voyager replies very quickly. As I said , the dashboard is fantastic.

It's still come up very nicely George, not one I'd ever consider down here in the Deep South ;)

Thanks Greg and Mike, it is an interesting area with more intriguing areas. At the moment it is unfinished, I trying to make the stars less intrusive but everything I have tried so far gives it that blocky plasticised look.
Gotta love Taks :D
