Thanks Mike, the Ha provides all the detail and yeah I was happy with what could be seen not only in the pillars themselves but also the surrounding Bok globules and gas clouds. Colours? well now, them's a fightin' word

Thanks David, this is a nice bright Ha region for a change which makes it a whole lot easier to bring out the data with my limited processing skills.

Way to go!
Looks as if the SX AO is working well as this FL.

Rich

Thanks Rich, Yeah, I have to agree with you, the narrowband filter offer distinct advantages but its not for all objects. I'm finding it really convenient from my location but the flip side is longer exposures... ah tradeoffs
As for the AO, should have used it earlier I find it makes guiding a lot easier. I have run some subs out to 1 hour with not too much problem, provided the PA is good. As always, appreciate your input.

Ta Marc, a couple of late nights for this one but I've been waiting since last year for another crack at it with some better gear. Glad you liked it.

Thanks Marcus, I agree with you totally on that point. Some of Mike's (he of the strongman clan) comparisons of amateur equipment (although expensive) to the big boys are mind boggling. Importantly, more of it is becoming within reach of us common folk.


Thankyou all for your input, its really appreciated.

Keith
