Very smooth picture and amazing details. Very nice! :thumbsup:

Fantastic image, the 14" is resolving a heap of detail, and the fast Hyperstar does a good job.

All the best.

A nice deep image, the Northeast Arc shows up really well as does the faint northeast object at upper left.

Lovely image, great cometary detail too.

This is a smooth - yet sharp result! Reading the equipment used it looks like a good combination which has resulted in this fine image! Well done.

Fantastic image mate! Hyperstar is a sensational idea, and in application it seems brilliant too..

I know many people (including myself) who are or have struggled to get a good pic of the helix because its just too dim.. with 14" @ F/2 you're definitely not struggling to capture those photons

A lovely capture with wonderful detail.

Fine work indeed.
