I hadn't thought to try Ha but this sounds like a good project for Astrofest. It is hard to judge the brightness of these in Astroplanner - the DSS images all look good.

Thanks Paul. I didn't have a good perspective of the extent of this until I googled it. The DSS images I use for framing are all 1 deg fields and it looked like it fitted in my FOV based on this.

Looks great.


Thanks.

Ross.

Thanks Ross. I wasn't happy with the guiding and have some elongated stars unfortunately.

Cheers Dave. I went looking at wider field images but couldn't see anything obvious that would contribute to the blue glow. Might be light from the house?

Cheers Troy. On the downhill slope now mate. Soon you will join the 40 something club and will be reaching for your reading glasses!
