Thought I would show a few quick snaps from Astrofest. These were all taken with the Vixen 200L and QHY8 camera at f 6.4. Mostly they were either 5 or 10 min subs with a minimum of 2-2.5 hr exposures.
Enjoyed the easy use of this equipment without heaps of frustration.
Just a quich levels and curves in PS with a little sharpening (nothing fancy).
Comments welcomed.

Nice collection there Allan:thumbsup: You must have got no sleep at all! Love the Grus trio most, but all nice pics. Maybe look at your black point in levels on some:) Thanks for posting!

That's a brilliant string of photos Allan!
I really like your processing - very minimal and effective. Not overdone at all.

I have to say I don't see any black level problems on my screen... :shrug:

Good stuff! :thumbsup:

The first veil image and the Trifid are rather nice images Allan. I like those the best. The others are ok, but those two stand out nicely.
