Ah ha, now thats the only sort of blackeye I want!
Boy you must have had some good weather down that way!
Your processing of images lately is top notch!
:thumbsup:

What an interesting object! beautifully captured and processed.

But gee you need more focal length, eric ;)

Lovely shot Eric, that dust lane must be massive to stand out like that.

Cheers

Well done Eric - so when is the new meade nonRC scope coming?

Eric they just keep coming and coming, a very interesting object, cant say I have heard of this one, keep em coming Eric, by the way do you ever sleep. :whistle:

Leon :thumbsup:

h0ughy they won't let Eric use the Hubble as it would run out of maneuvering fuel so he has to use his own. As usual a very good image Eric. I do enjoy all your images even though I don't comment very often.

It is because of Eric (and Scott etc) I have never even thought of a ten inch Newt for imaging as they are all over the place getting great detailed images. How could a mere old retired scientist compete with such exuberance let alone keep up!

Now that's a target I have to try for visually one day soon. Thanks for reminding me, Eric. I like the image. :thumbsup:

[EzyStyles]

Nice image, first time seeing this galaxy.

Another great image Eric. Did you need to modify your NGT-10 to achieve focus with the 350D?
