That is very very nice, Eric. :)

As said above by Ric, the filaments are great.

Nice image Eric.
Plenty of detail there.:thumbsup:

[Alchemy]

like this one eric...... you should be honoured my wife liked it too.

going to have to slow you down a bit ... how about a mosaic of the rosette neb with the 10 inch ,idont think youll squeeze it in 2 shots (hehe):D.

of course you could always try ngc 2174 that would frame nicely and about the same level as the crab so i know you can get it and similar brightness to the emmission around horsehead.

Well done Eric, very nice detail there.

Just caught up with this one and it's a real gem Eric.

Just love the colour and the detail is excellent. Boy oh boy you're really pumping the images out at a fast pace. Can't keep up :lol:

[bluescope]

Great image Eric ! Your guiding is always spot on .... do you use your EQ6's polar scope to align or do you drift ? You must have a good routine going as I know you don't have a permanent setup do you or do you ?

From where I image M1 is over in the bright city light zone !!!!

:thumbsup:

[EzyStyles]

Thanks Scott. Yes, any longer than 7 minutes from test i have done will degrade the image rather than capturing more photons due to my light polluted area.



LOL, trying to take advantage form recent melb weather and low moon. any chance i can get buddy :) (even waking up late for work! :lol:)



Thanks Steve. Yes thats correct. I dont have an observatory. What i normally do with the EQ6 is take the thing out, plonk on the markings and thats pretty much it. My polar alignment i can tell you is wayy off. i don't use drift align i normally look into the polar scope. The main reason why polar alignment doesnt concern me is due to autoguiding. This will eliminate accuracy of the mount. I also don't do PEC training lol. My autoguiding is the main thing. I can do over 10 minutes subs but due to my light polluted area, as i said to Scott, anything over 7 minutes will degrade my image.
