obviously an obsession worth having Frank, very nice image indeed.

I haven't visited you site for a while Frank, looks great.
Some really fine images and the observatory looks like a work of art.

Very nice image. A very dim object. You did well to get it this bright.

Greg.

[spearo]

Thanks Greg, Ron and Mick

I hadn't updated the webpage for a while,
i think i should clean out some of the old astro pics but I dont mind showing my progression as I keep learning

Looks more more like a fixation to me....:whistle:.....nice tracking:lol:.
Couldn't help myself. Had a very productive weekend frank,:thumbsup: any more?

[spearo]

thanks guys,

there's a crap Crab i'm not hugely happy with, low on horizon, shot in between planned targets, not great, probably not really worth posting but then that's it.
I spent all my time rebuilding the observatory otherwise and battling clouds and a nasty jet stream.
so i think that's it for a couple of weeks for me
unless i start reprocessing of course...:lol:

Yep, now that is very nice indeed, I tried it once and being so faint, and distant i only go a blur, nice going Frank.

Thanks Gary, Werner and Leon.
Leon I agree its a very faint little object that one, probably why I liked the challenge so much

Nice work Frank. This is a difficult target at the best of times. Pleasing to see your imaging rig is working out well for you. Keep up the good work.

[renormalised]

Nice shot, Frank...good definition in the neb'.

[Omaroo]

Very nice Frank :) Love the colours.

What CCD are you looking at?

[Ric]

A great image Frank, I love the blues that you captured in it they are very vibrant and makes the image really jump out at you.

A fine job.

[spearo]

Thanks Ric and Chris!
Chris: I'm thinking Sbig at present so I could do away with the guidescope.

wish I knew what was onthe horizon though.

Stll considering my options
wont rush into anything just yet!
