Thanks boys, yes, happy with this one and yes the seeing was quite good until that easterly change hit Marc...which was good timing given I was about to start the RGB anyway ...I just wanted to have a complain about the sudden deterioration in the seeing conditions - it was remarkable

Lovely Mike, Mag 15 and yet it is well defined, and "bright" as.....better than the Mag 8 PN's I can see from Sludgetown.

Amazing work you do with that Light Dyson.....it sucks the photons and never seems to lose suction....

Cheers

Cheers Chris hoover indeed, this scope is a formidable beast and when the seeing cooperates - I really love it!!

Yes very strange that it is simply not imaged ..I mean, I didn't know it was there

Naaah...I think it is probably a bit too colourful the universe is apparently Pastel in colour after all and besides it is clearly better that M's version with the AAT so I recon it would be brushed aside ...who knows

Yes happy with the result and such an intriguing object

You should start "mowing the lawn" with your gear, given your dark skies/seeing, you may discover something yourself

Cheers Rod and yes...the idea did cross my mind, if I could get this sort of seeing even more regularly it would be nice

Thanks Rolf, yes I think the smallest features in the globe there are only a couple of arc sec in diameter...you have a Hoover too

Thanks Jorges, yes in this case it is not just a case of the AAT image is just very small, the 4m of aperture and broadband capture of the AAT has picked up fainter stars but there is indeed better resolution in the neb in my image
