this is superb. The fine detail in the reflection nebula is amazing and the stars are perfect. Well done!

Thanks Rocky



Thanks Peter. The ASI Air Pro is helping immensely. The best astro investment I have ever made.



Thanks Robert. This is one Messier object I have always wanted to shoot. I had an additional 150 minutes of data to add but decided not to as due to the wind it was all unguided. Hopefully I can add some later in the year.



Yes, it looks good visually as well. Also very easy to spot in the sky near the red eye of Taurus. Like you though in Melbourne not so easy in central Sydney.
