Hi guys, I was thinking I would add to this image and thus hadn't posted it on here yet but now it is looking like I wont get another chance till next year.

Last new moon I got down to Pauls to try my new NP101 out. I didnt get as much as I would have liked on it, this is 40 minutes of each colour in 20 minute subs, and an hour of luminance with half hour subs. I took more images but my automated focusing was not working so the later subs were out of focus and I had to ditch them.

Criticism welcome, I cant wait to get this new scope onto a serious project and sink some time into it. I now have fitted a focuser that I can adjust tilt with, and so I can chase out the last of my star shapes the bottom right of this image is a little skewed.

I myself like the image but I feel it is lacking some real colour definition, I like the star field, but the nebulosity underwhelms me a little.
