Hi Fred,

This is a recent image I did that I liked.

The Vela Supernova Remnant. For some reason it isn't often imaged by Southern imagers (it is a bit faint and hard to find).

http://www.pbase.com/gregbradley/image/91296123

Tak FSQ106N, SBig STL11000 and Tak NJP mount at my dark site observatory.
About 4 hours worth.

Gear I use now is FSQ106N (a dream come true scope - too easy to use)
Tak FS152 (6 inch) with field flattener and RCOS 12.5 inch (when its not windy) all on a Tak NJP mount (very easy to use, very accurate tracking, not many bells and whistles but its extremely fast to setup and get running accurately). Camera is an Sbig STL11000 class 2 with Astrodon filters and Baader narrowband. I also have a Starfish camera to be used as a guide camera and also planetary imaging.

I also imaged a lot with a Canon 20D which I modified myself and initially used a Nikon D70 which I also modified myself.

This may be relevant to the thread as the colour in this one isn't accurate most likely but chosen for effect as someone mentioned in the thread. I mean I like it, but others may go -oohh arrrgh- too pink.

Its O111 LRGB and I think some Ha in there ( I say I think as I switched filter sets during the imaging and one set may have been mislabelled).

I could reprocess it to make it more "natural" and it might be a fun exercise.

Greg.
