Hi all,
been quiet for a time so I thought
I'd show you what I've been up to inbetween
"The rain we had to have."
Yeah well, heaps of clouds and some good rain I
should say.

The Ha M16 is still a work in progress..
One lot of subs taken inbetween cloud breaks and
the other I did tonight.

10" F4 Newt.
SX H916
13uM Astronomik Ha filter.
3min subs guided. (HX515/ Ed80)
Total exposure- 117'
Conditions- reasonable transparency, fair to poor seeing.

And Ngc6744 lum taken as well tonight. Thought I'd better get
as much as I could done, who knows with this weather.
Have taken this one before but have never with the scopes I've had begin
to resolve the outer arm, satelite galaxy within it and H knots.
Needs more data to smooth things out but am happy with it
so far.
10" F4 Newt.
SX H916
Clear (IR blocking) Astronomik filter.
3min subs guided. (HX515/ Ed80)

It could be clear here tomorrow night so am hoping to get some colour down.

Hope your all well and the weather is behaving.
But looks like more bad stuff on the way, so get out if you can.


All the best
Rich
