Could you please post what equipment you used to capture these images.

Thanks
Hi Matty,
I have my own private observatory, the western most in NSW.
The images were taken through a highly modified Meade 16" F4.5 Newtonian Reflector. The scope is on a German Equatorial mount, designed and made by me. The mount is fitted with an Anssen Technologies dual axis drive and drive corrector from Peter Melander.

I have an Orion manual filter wheel with Astronomic LRGB filters and the camera was a DMK 21AU from the Imaging Source.

I have attached an image of my scope in the top floor of my observatory.

Regards
Trevor
