Glad you had two successful nights at Wiruna, that alone is worth the effort I recon

Mike

Thanks Mike. True. I can't remember the last clear new moon. Conditions were perfect this time.

Good to hear the gear was working well!

Thanks mate. Never had a decent color HH so I'm glad I nabbed this one while it's still up. I had big plans this summer to do an Orion color mosaic but the heat and the weather conspired against it. Maybe next year.

Superb.

Thanks a lot Trev. Glad you liked them.

Thanks Neale. Yeah I'm still here. Not as often as I would like though.

(Speaking of couples, your framing, rotation, and level of contrast has revealed two hitherto unknown graceful art-deco ballerinas in long flowing dresses, one with dark hair between the Running Man and M42, and the other with blonde hair at 8 o'clock from M42.)

Excellent work.

Thanks Mike. You'll have to point out or draw those ballerinas. I can't see them.

Great images for your efforts.

Rob

Thanks Rob. Well, NSW hasn't been spared by the clouds. January has been wet wet wet. Don't despair, I'll bring you some clear skies at astrofest 2016

Thanks David. Yes it is an OSC. QHY8 old body, the square one.

Thanks Rodney . Yeah I tried to keep it smooth. M42 isn't easy to process I find.
