Fantastic imaging Fred!!!! :thumbsup:

Gee, thanks Guys, thanks for your kind words, Im chuffed:D

Yeah, posting on the SBIG group is a scary proposition, formal, but the response is encauraging if its half way in their league at least. Can be helpfull too. I am mostly here
http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/MelbMeadeScopes/, its nice there too.

And Jase, you have a smick web site, flash gear, and Ive seen many of your posts that proves you have the nouse, whats with the lack of colour pics?.

Your neb gallery is a bit sparse (kidding, just a gee up).

Cheers
Fred

:lol: I hear you. Pretty game posting there, but you've got what it takes. I think when you get praise from Mr. Gendler, you know your playing with the big guys.;)

I've been scopeless for sometime, but not anymore - http://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/showthread.php?t=20319 :D
So stay tuned. Colour is imminent. Thanks for the kick in the pants (reality check). ;):lol:

Keep up the good work Fred. Really like what you've done to date.:thumbsup:

Hey Fred,
superb image..... so much depth and detail, just unreal...
I like this palette's colour rather than the Hubble's... looks more realistic imo.

And to think this is what ground based scopes are capable of...
Man., we've come a long way with scopes, filters, software.

Brilliant!!! Simply Brilliant Fred!!!!

Thanks for sharing.

Great pics, especially from Sydney area, the narrowband filters really work well.
