Hello everyone and thanks for the comments.

Mike - yes, the image is cropped, and yes again, I certainly know the NH skies too - I really do look forward to unpacking the scopes here, but have only managed to power up the PC, install Cloud Sensor, and commenced construction on the skate for the mobile platform.

Jase - I agree, and while I normally shoot colour unbinned, I was fast running out of time before I had to cut the cord and pack up the kit for shipping to the US, so the colour on this one was binned 2x2. Still, it was very noisy data. I do prefer to have subtle colouring in the galaxy images, but again I do agree that the blue could be selectively dialled up a tad.

M65 on the other hand.....odd, since that just appears to give off a very mono-colour appearance.

with just 4 hours of lum and 1 hour each RGB, I could not afford to throw a single frame away.

thanks again for all the posts; great to hear from you

Martin
