Hi all,well here is my first light with my new fsq ,i had taken some images earlier only to realize i had field rotation :rolleyes:..so one and a half hours later i had good polar alignment:)
Any way i present eta in HA ...seeing as the moon was 91%.
Combination of 14 images at 10 minutes each.
I subtracted darks and bias and tweaked the image in photoshop,all comments welcome and if you see any issues in it ,feel free to set me straight:welcome: heres the link..http://www.pbase.com/skelty/image/98815172

:eyepop:That's a knock out image Rob .... so much outlying detail .... would love to see you add a little colour data at some time ..... not a criticism by any means, I really like this Ha version, it's joined my collection.

Yep, a top Ha image of Eta that!

I really liked that wavy front of nebulosity top right, looks like an advancing Sunami wave.
