definitely a much deeper blue indeed, very interesting.
how's the cooler box go in the heat? i'm contemplating a cold finger mod ... we'll see.

clear skies!

Thanks Rusty!

Sorry about that, subs were 2 minutes.
Seems perfect for ISO 6400 under dark skies .

The cooler box is struggling, only 10c below ambient. I need to replace the internal fan, they seem to wear out frequently which mucks up the cooling.
It should be running 15 to 17c below ambient.

Thanks Mike!

I find balancing the stars to nebula tricky, makes quite a difference when the balance is right.

Yes mate, go for it. It looks like an interesting bit of sky that will make another great addition to your portfolio, and I look forward to seeing the finished product.

Thanks Trev!

Glad you nibbled.

Hope to get out tonight if the cloud clears.
I must update my photobucket site, I'm a bit slack in that area.

Cheers,

Justin.
