The Ha adds a lot of depth to the image.

Cheers Andrew. Indeed, the Ha data really brings out some incredible details. All subs were 15min, perhaps too long for a 10nm Ha filter though with an ABG chip, pixels bleed so its no problem. Thanks again.

Thanks Graeme. I shot the Ha frames while the object was +75 degrees and higher. The bright tendrils are really interesting.

Thanks Leon. I've produced a few fizzers this year, most don't get released. I took an image of M57 using photometry filters at a ~3500mm focal length. That was a waste. The great thing about fizzers is you learn a lot from them.

That has to be one of your best and I'm looking forward to what you will be presenting next year.

Cheers Ric. I seriously feel I could do better on this target. Planning was rushed (last minute decision), some subs didn't align well (as can be seen top right of frame) and my calibration frames let me down - noisy data. IMHO its not my best. I think my favourite image of the year would have to be
R Coronae Australis. Something really special and vivid with that image. I still recall the night I captured it. The temperature dropped below zero and the dome wheels froze to the base. This caused much panic as I couldn't rotate the dome as the object cross the meridian. I now have some quality lubricant applied which works in extreme weather. The joys of imaging. Thanks again.
