Just Wonderful!!

Thanks Barb and David. Pleased you liked it. Was going to collect more data on this target, but felt the urge to move on to other targets. The nights are way too short.

Thanks Citivolus. It helps to have dark skies and a sensitive chip. The FSQ is also a fine instrument.

One of the best versions of The Witchhead that I've ever seen Jase !!!

Even the kids thought it was fantastic.

Once again congrats on another wonderful image.

Cheers RB. A fun “fairy tale” target for the kids.

Talking about productivity…
Over the past three nights, I’ve collected 11.5 hours (46subs – 15min each) of RGB data over two targets, one a mosaic. The frustrating thing is I’ve got nothing to show for it as I still need more data. This hobby sure tests ones patients…
