Hey Paul, thanks mate!
Was lucky with the weather and never thought I'd get enough time..

Thanks a heap Jase!... definitely the extra time on the subs has helped bucket loads as now I'm picking up a lot more detail... the system is working well with the OAG..

Amazing, colours and detail.

I would love to be able to take photos like this one day.


Thanks.

Ross.

Cheers Ross... it's all a lot of time and investment.. even when you don't have the money... but the bug bites hard as i'm sure you know!
But the end results are the pay off

Thanks Steve for the nice comments... yeah I've pretty much pushed the core as far as it will go now... contrast/ sharpening.. any more and it starts showing up course and pixellated.

Lovely image to view and pan around, the stars look great too.

Your OAG looks to have assisted your results nicely

One day I'll get back out there too

Mike

Cheers Big Migel!
Yes the OAG has certainly helped heaps mate... I've never had stars line up spot on before... so I had to start dithering in between each exposure.. yep certainly something new for me!
Hope you can get out soon ol' chap, miss your images and especially with Agie!

Cheers all for your great comments!

All the best
Rich
