Took this one early last night. 28x5min subs through the QHY8/10". I'm quite pleased with how it worked out. Comments welcome!

Terrific shot Peter! 10/10 :thumbsup:

Great shot Pete, that's shows plenty of detail and an extra galaxy to boot :thumbsup:

[h0ughy]

wow those two smaller galaxies are nicely resolved? nice work Peter

[jjjnettie]

Awesome stuff Peter!

[peter_4059]

Thanks Marc, Geoff and David. It's great to finally have some clear nights up here. Hope the weather cooperates for astrofest.

Thanks JJJ. How many sleeps to go now? I must book some leave!

Mate, that's an absolute cracker! Sharp as, and some good faint fuzzies to wander around in. And the composition is really appealing too.

[Stevec35]

That's a beauty! Lovely colours and a composition you don't see often with NGC 4945. The only thing I would do is get more data because it does look a bit noisy.

Cheers

Steve

Cheers Troy. I put a bit of thought into the positioning this time rather than just centering it in the FOV.



Thanks Steve. I got as many subs as I could without the scope crashing into the tripod leg. Faced with a meridian flip and the prospect of trying to reframe it in the right position I decided enough was enough.



Thanks Ivo.



Cheers Alan. I've just about got the flexure under control now so don't get much drift in a 5 min sub. The guiding has been a bit hit and miss but it was behaving early in the evening. I really need to have a play with the PHD settings some time.



Thanks David.



Thanks Carl.


Cheers Ron.

[RobF]

Yep, that's a beauty alright. Wonderful detail coming through.

[peter_4059]

Thanks Rob. You never know what you are going to get with this game. It's nice to get a reasonable image for a change.

[troypiggo]

The results certainly show that it's worth it, hey.

[Hagar]

Very nice Peter, Maybe a little red but great detail , focus and guiding.
Well done as usual.

[peter_4059]

Thanks Doug. It's good to know it isn't suffering from my usual colour balance preference (too green).

Good one Peter
