Very smooth Greg. I've started a mosaic on this one but you got a lot more blues that what I'm getting. Will have to check my colors. I'll use that as a reference for the details. Top shot. :thumbsup:

Very nice Gregg,
one of my favourite areas.

I can never do it justice with my meager setups so I just enjoy you guys images of this with the go gear.

Thanks for sharing.

Greg how dim is the nebula I tried capturing the triple star system ic4604 the other night with my reducer attached but just over an hours data with the OSC shows very liitle of the blue nebula but plenty of saturation on the triple

Thanks for the compliments. Yes that little blue neb is dim.

This may be the start of a mosaic. I haven't done many mosaics but its probably time to conquer them. This AP scope and reducer/corrector is a great setup for that sort of image.

Not bad Greg.

Love the square look now ;)

Hard to know what size to display though for the best view huh?

Yes thanks Mike. I think I can do better with this one but I was somewhat happy with this one. I can see a redo and possibly a mosaic coming up. Of course that depends on the weather.
