Thanks Marc. I was beginning to think something was dreadfully wrong with this one. I looked at it a few times and thought, not my best but still not too bad either.

Smooth, subtle colours and so sharp.

Great shot Doug.

Thanks JJ maybe I will get some good data on M20 and M8 when it gets a bit higher in the sky at a respectable hour.



Thanks Ross. Always an interesting target. It encompasses all the chalenges of Deep Sky imaging.

One of my favs, and a great rendition for a "stopover". Colours seem nice and natural too.

People must think we come from Jupiter or something, 80mins is a quick image :lol:

Nice though Doug.

Thanks for the kind comments everyone. I now have my new 120 fitted up on the mount so this and a few other images will have to wait for a while to be finished with the FSQ although I might shoot some frames with the 120 and use good old Registar to combine with this.
Thanks again.
