Thanks Paul. We'll see how it goes, but there dosen't seem to be much there except for Ha... time will tell

I think I will just sit back and enjoy your project, so keep posting

I've managed another 6hrs over the past couple of nights (for a total of 12), but as you'd expect, its a case of diminishing returns. I'll take Ha out to 24hrs, but I'm not prepared to give it any more than that...

A very apt comparison M&T... Might need an aperture like yours though to to collect enough photons in the end..

the giant Subaru 8.2m telescope got it.

Still it will be interesting to see what a more humble telescope
can pick up with this faint one!

cheers

Thanks Allan. I hadn't seen the Subaru image before. I really should have picked a more do-able object, I think..

Not a chance Colin...but I'll give it a go anyway..
