Thank you Brendan :lol:
Get one too, and don't be jealous, it is a lot more work to process than a one shot picture.

Two...I have 3! All girls.:sadeyes:

One is uni educated going on to masters...must be worth something in a sale.

One has just started Tafe and will probably end up owning her own business..she is very world savy so her worth is in the future; and

One still at school (year 8)who is probably more intelligent than all our family members put together...loves maths & science and is damn good at them.

So which one will I make a good cash price on...they are all blondes!;)

And will this cover the costs of a good CCD?:lol:

Maybe, but you would have got a better price if you'd sold them earlier. :P

In my limited experience, globular clusters have been difficult to image.

You've done a wonderful job here.

Onya, Martin.

Beautiful capture, well done!

Always wondered why they don't collapse into a blackhole or something..:question:

Thank you Mark:thumbsup:



Thank you Gary, I think that you get more for copper than for kids these days :rofl:



Thank you Gray :) I hope you are going to have as much fun as me with your QHY9 :thumbsup:



Brendan those industries are not interested in smart girls :P



As above :lol:



Thank you Fred for the kind words :)



Thanks Humayun :thanx: The imaging is fairly easy (put the times in and hit the button) it is the processing that does it :)



Thank you zip :hi: they hit each other but there is no black hole in there to my knowledge.



Thank you Mike :D It is easier to practice on known and easy/big objects (baby steps for me Mike :lol: ).
