Bit of a muck a round under a full moon
Ha for red 90 mins. O111 for green 90 mins. 50% of each for blue. Taken with 18" Newt. with coma/c and QHY9 using oag and st4, no calibration frames taken. Not sure about the colour but open for suggestions.

Nice one Ken, stacks of detail. Great to see the 18" newt is up and running.

Definitely got great detail in there...

No calibration frames you say? Looks very clean considering! what temperature were you running the QHY9 at? and what was the sub exposure duration?

Reminds me of a shot from the ESO ken. Really well done and love the colours.

Cheers

Thanks Alex, Trevor, Doug I'm pretty happy with the results the seeing was poor plus the mirror had soaked up a lot of heat from the 40+ day. Thanks also Michael and David been waiting to see some images from you guys.

Indeed, its been a while :ashamed: We got back into it last Friday night with 12 x 300sec of IC434 using the Baader modded 350D, not really spectacular, the guiding was challenging to say the least :shrug: and the focus was a touch off :mad2: - maybe next weekend we will have better luck :thumbsup:

Good to here your back at it, guiding I think can be the toughest part of imaging if everything is not spot on.
Did a Sidonio on this changing O111 to blue and HaO111 to green.
