Thanks Bruce , Rod, Cam and Dunk .
You should have told me I need to improve my image enhancement skills. Hopefully with a bit of Rick's tutelage I will improve this aspect of my Astro Imaging endeavors.
Rod - I think I have told you before that the Celestron OAG is a very good bit of kit. Thanks for recommending that I buy it. I think Dunk is considering buying one also
Bruce - The helix was imagined in my backyard at Caboolture with a fair bit of sky glow. It is hardly discernible in the raw image. The Rosette was imaged at a dark site location at Blackbutt about 100k's inland. I am trying to get a handle on how my camera performs and what length of exposure times to use for the different sky conditions. I tried a series of 10 minute subs on both objects but these failed dismally. When I went to 20 minutes the detail pooped out.
Cheers
Rob
