LRGB pics now...my we are looking up...I am pretty damn jealous!:ashamed:
It's a great pic martin.
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:

Ahhh Omega....isn't she cute? :rolleyes:
Nah, that's a fine version of the cluster Marty, nice work.

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: ).
Nice Martin, but.....looks just a tad pink to me?
(then again, I'm probably just jealous I don't have RGB going yet....:D)
