Thanks H.

Yes was very surprised. I might try a long dewshield see if it makes any difference.

Blo--y Alnitak, ruined plenty of my images.
Great shot with the C11 Marc, lots of detail.

Thanks Bill.

Tell me about it. I can't wait this one goes supernova (if it does). Is it due yet?

Thanks Rick.

I call it the "
Luftwaffe Bombing Run" as Peter Ward named it in one of my early carina widefields. But that was the moon.

Thanks Troy.

Mate, I'm having troubles guiding at any FL. At least here I have an excuse.

Thanks a lot Mike.

Setting up tonight again and hopefully tomorrow and guess what I'll be imaging again

If I can increase the SNR dramatically then I can sharpen the hell out of it and then it's going to look a lot more interesting.

From experience I would say that you'd probably need at least half hour subs with the QHY9  Having never tried guiding at anything longer than 742.6mm or with an OAG, good stuff

Thanks Colin.

I might try 10min tonight. I kind of wussed out. If there's no wind and the guide graph is ok I'll give it a go. But a lot of things can go wrong in 10min.

Thanks Dunk.

Yes those clouds are starting to look interesting but still a little bland. I'm hoping more subs will define the curtain at the back as well.
