Thanks Lester – I don’t think that the extended object is a galaxy but I will investigate further – a good pick up!

Thanks for your comments Paul; it is rewarding to be the recipient of such positive feedback.

Not to belittle your achievement but, to anyone else thinking of attempting them, the Palomar clusters aren't all that hard to image. Palomar 8 and 9 are the easiest. In fact Pal 9 has a NGC designation, NGC 6717.

Thanks Steve – I appreciate your comments.

Thanks Ric – these are evil targets, don’t go there; I blame Rolf for my corruption!

John.

Thanks John – the Mewlon lends itself well to these types of objects, although I wish that I had more than 180mm of aperture and something faster than F9.6 so I could more often retire to my bed the same day that I woke up!

Thank you Jase, for your words of encouragement and thank you again, for it was your re-process of my M16 a few years ago that kick started my journey into the mysterious art of LRGB imaging!

I have searched intensively at the correct position but it's just not in my image unfortunately. I'm certain you've got it though, there is clearly a blue speck there so that's great Congratulations.
And Pal 6 looks awesome too, a very nice image.

Thanks Rolf – I’m not sure that I would be posting these images without the heavy artillery of an SBIG CCD camera, allowing me to take exposures of 15 mins rather than 5 secs!

Cheers
