Very nice!:D

Lars,

That is a wonderful image. The arms extend a long way and the star birthing regions are really pronounced.

Processing looks very nice indeed.

Top job.

Brilliant image Lars.

[AlexN]

Now THAT! is impressive!

Did you have some frame misalignment? you have a horizontal line through the star at the bottom of the field.

[lhansen]

All subs were dithered (+- 3.5 pixels). The line is from the deconvolution I ran in CCDStack, I didn't clip the image :shrug:

[sheeny]

I'd be happy with that, Lars!

Lovely image Lars, This to me is the pick of the bunch. Youve been missing for a while but seem now, to be back with a vengence.

Great stuff, can't wait to see some longer exposures.

[Doomsayer]

Great stuff Lars! ....
Nice to see the ST8XME being put to good use.
(Meanwhile I'm sitting in the observatorry getting a big Tpoint model done)

Brilliant - let me know how it goes. I'm doing 1744 tonight - almost sounds rude :lol:

The ST8 XME seems to be the perfect combo for my RCOS - the 6303E was/is an amazing camera but it needs plenty of patience, something you have in spades (I dont :shrug:)

Let me know how the model goes

This is Beautiful Lars.
I agree the pix on the ST8 are a very good match to your Ritchie.
Excellent resolution!!

More :thumbsup:

[gregbradley]

Excellent image Lars. That seems to be a good combo.

Been a busy boy then this is by far the best of the bunch (which are all good) IMO

well done

Nothing like a beautiful and big image of 1365.

Lovely image.
