ED 127/QHY 8/H alpha -Lagoon

here's my first H alpha image with the ED 127

finally got the EQ6 to autoguide Friday night so naturally cloud intervened before I got very far

the last sub was shot through plenty of cloud

as a result this is only 50 minutes of exposure so its also a bit noisy

600secs x 5

DSS and Photoshop for stacking and processing

for an even larger close up crop

these are not too large (about 500 k each) so do have a look if you can

I had some wierd eggy stars in the left hand side so had to crop those out-not sure why yet, didnt find them in other images with the ED 127-

otherwise think the ED 127 is delivering on its promise

your comments appreciated
