Thanks Marcus. No I don't think I'd be able to match the stars to do a blend with this. Next new moon I'd like to try to do a couple of galaxies at long FL weather permitting.

Great field of view - and nicely pieced together.
Lovely stuff...

Peter

Thanks Peter. I checked the full field afterwards and realised that M20 is just on the edge so if I framed bit lower I would have got it in oh well...

Which hydrogen alpha filter are you using? Now that my new gear is almost on its way, I would like to maximise my investment by spending time out whenever I possibly can; even when the Moon is out and under horrible light pollution.

Thanks H. I use a 2" baader 7nm. LP? Moon? What moon?

Dave

Sure Dave. I'll upload a full quality resampled TIFF file for you to download. Will sent you the link when done.

Thanks mate. Yep, there's a fair bit of noise in the dark areas. That's where a dark site and new moon week-end wins hands down.

I know it's a 3 panel mosaic but you've pulled it off nicely to make it look like a single shot.
The large shot has very nice detail in there.

Thank you. I didn't too much to stitch it. PS photo merge works quite well and it does the job . Not as precise as what Bert does with Registar and a master frame but I don't know how to use Registar well.

Mark

Thanks Mark. The Ha filters a lot of unwanted light but strong moon glow will still affectyour pic a bit, especially sky glow in the dark bits (grainy dark areas)
