A pleasant way to spend Christmas Eve

[gbeal]

Well, nothing better than a quiet wine, with the CCD capturing photons.
Christmas Eve, blending into Christmas Day.
Need to sort the reducer spacing by the look of the corners.
TSA102/AP67 Reducer/SXVR-H16/Baader 7Nm. 12x600 seconds.
Minimal levels in CS4.

Stunning indeed! Great field of view too, I love the square framing! So you got the TSA before christmas hey!? Who's a lucky boy then! :)

Very smooth image both visually and in execution. The H16 really held its own here, as with 2 hours of Ha data you don't normally see that much signal without a fair bit of noise involved...

Really nice work mate! How bout a photo of the setup!

Gary,

That's very nice indeed.

Thanks team, Christmas is normally busy for me, but the chance of a clear night was too good to pass up. Mind you too many L&P's now have taken their toll, LOL.
Alex, the square I like, although this shot would have been better with a rectangular framing. And yes, a TSA, PLUS a Mewlon 210, guess who is happy. Maybe a picture later, Chrissy dinner, and then a sleep, then a BBQ.
A great time of the year.

M-210 too!! Look who's become a Tak-Nut! :) Would I be right in thinking that now you have the M-210 the Intes scope is surplus to requirement?? :D

[DavidU]

A beauty Gaz.:thumbsup: No image of Santa incoming?

[gbeal]

No Dave, sorry, with 600 second subs, all I got was a streak on one of them. With the median combine it got lost though, LOL.
Yep Alex, EM200, and a pair of Tak scopes, almost feels a bit snobby.
Not sure what to do with the M703.
Gary

[AlexN]

Woooah.. EM200 as well mate!! :) WoooHooo!! :) Severe Takitis!

[gbeal]

The Tak triplets, LOL.

Lovely image Gary, the detail in the curtain and the flame is sublime. Is there colour to be added?

Regards
Keith

[gbeal]

Thanks all, the comments are encouraging, and appreciated.
Keith, not sure if I will add colour or not, happy with it as it is, apart from the googley stars in the corners.

Onya, Gary.

Mind you, a little sharpening wouldn't go astray.

Now, more images, kthx. :P

Nice imaging Gary :thumbsup: Great to see that you got yourself another Tak 102. :)

[gbeal]

OK H, I'll look at sharpening it, but as it is it is reasonably au natural.
Chris, long story, but yes, glad to back with Tak. Ended up with three Tak items, the TSA, an M210, and the EM200. Cleaned me out, but what the heck, life is short.
