At less than 4hrs exposure, I intended this to be a much longer (so it's a bit thin on :() aaand full colour :rolleyes:...buuut for various reasons, never got around to adding to it, oh well, probably at the end of this year? Anyway, I collected this data back on 27 Dec 22 and actually had forgotten I had it :shrug:...so, yesterday being a drab old drizzly day I thought meah, I'll chuck it together to see what it looks like...:)

The seeing was reasonable, 1.9" - 2.3" per MaximDL (arhem, and no BlurEx...yet ;))

Very nice Mike and the curtain is detailed too.
FWHM as low as 1.9" - that's great!

cheers

Cheers Allan, was very good for a while earlier tonight too (FWHM ~ 1.8") but it has softened a bit now (2.2")...hopefully it sharpens up again later :prey:

NO worries Trev, sorry it aint in colour :doh:



He he. yeah, I'm resisting purchasing PI and Blur EX et al :rolleyes:....not sure how long I can hold off though :face: :bashcomp:..too scared to tell Angie I need'em, mooore $$ :help:



Cheers Dave



Thanks Martone, have to say after imaging from a Bortle 3/4 site for nearly eight years (which wasn't too shabby) Bortle 1/2 makes a huuuuge difference! :eyepop: the sharper seeing has certainly been welcomed too :thumbsup:
