Thanks for the kind sentiments Michael,appreciate it and I’m sure other imagers do also !!
This is the first time imaging this globular cluster and it took me by surprise how much detail it has, next time I need more data to expose more detail
I’m only a rank beginner in imaging but I’m learning step by step
Like you I enjoy visual astronomy too.I have a Skywatcher 12” GOTO Dob and on rare occasions Ill be imaging in the backyard with my 6” and observing out the front with the 12” on the same object
I was indeed lucky to do that during early January when family came down to our holiday house south coast NSW. I was imaging M42 in the backyard and at the same time had M42 in my 21mm Ethos eye piece on the big dob tracking nicely, there was a queue of 6 people waiting their turn to have a peep through the eye piece
I was certainly in my element that evening with good seeing conditions, no moon and most importantly no mosquitoes
Thanks again
Cheers
