Thanks for the heads up Paul. Haven't looked at a weather map for a while.
Looks good for tonight(Monday)

Amazing colours, detail and sharpness.

Such depth, it draws you in.


Thank you.


Ross.

Thanks so much Ross. One thing I do like about this image besides the obvious nebula, is the amount of multiple stars around some of the larger stars. Even in the nebs there are some really fine ones. I love seeing them resolved to pin points.

This is an understated image, that has blown me away.

What I also really like about this is your composition.

Awesome work, mate!

Oh thanks mate!
I've been slowly upgrading certain things on the scope to get to a point where I'm very happy with the performance now. It, of course takes money and time to put it all together. I have just bought the Ex View guider off Gary B and this in turn will lead to me going down the OAG route. I really want to crack my 5min max sub exposure wall to go beyond... be interesting to see how deep this scope can go, especially on those fainter galaxies and to really start to push the data in processing.
I'm glad you liked the framing, I spent a little time to get it so there was a good balance between the two objects, represent the star field and also include the dark neb which I think ties it all in.
Thanks for noticing H!
What's happening with you and your setup?? haven't seen an image from you in a while??
