I agree with Mike, I like seeing your posts and can't wait to open them to see what detailed thing you will have for our eyes this time

Mike
Thank you Mike I really enjoy going after the more unusual targets.

Thanks Paul This one was not that tough but I thought I'd like to show a different angle of a well known target. And when it comes to these extended nebulae that's really all I can hope to do with my little camera.

Thank you John, yes the ToUCam gives very good resolution indeed. I'd like to have more nebula brightness in these images but that'll have to wait until I get a more sensitive camera.

Thanks Jase I'm glad you liked it.

Lovely colour and tones for such short exposures.

Thank you very much Dennis
I certainly look forward to a larger and more sensitive camera, probably at the end of the year now. And yes, rest assured it'll be busy documenting the obscure corners of the Universe once I get hold of it .
