Thanks Rod.
Its an often overlooked target in Centaurus. Shadowed by Cent A and Omega Cent.

By the way, I started imaging RCW75. Holy cow, talk about a dim object!! The weather and seeing here in the Sydney basin of gloom has only allowed me to catch 4 hours of Ha so far (over 3 nights  ) ... nowhere near enough even with 30min subs. I'll need to double that at least to be able to do some noise control. |
Cheers Marcus! Great to hear you're giving RCW75 a go. It certainly is a dim target. Make sure you get some good blue filtered data. The reflection neb at the peak should really shine at a long focal length. Really keen to see the result mate. Hope it turns out an absolute corker!

Cheers Mike! Its is a cool ghostly target. Jokes aside, theASA's FL is as short as it gets at the moment, and there is no intention to use anything less than a medium format camera on this scope. If I want to chase down galaxies, I'll bring out the 12.5" RCOS from storage. Nothing beats long FL for galaxy work. For the 16" ASA, it'll be a neb collecting machine. May hit a few galaxies from time to time but it certainly wont be often. Thanks for checking it out
