Also the delicate wisp to the centre is looking especially well detailed.
I look forward to the colour when it comes!
All the best

Thanks Rich. Yes, Ha sure brings out the delicate detail and I'll be sure to maintain that detail when adding the LRGB!

It's a great image now and I'm sure the end result will be even better.  |
Thanks a lot Peter! Ah yes, the head butting cat. I have two of them. They're my biggest fans!

I think last year must have been the cloudiest year I have ever experienced.
You know most of this cloud is only on the eastern side of the Grreat Divide. I drove through rain to get to my dark site 2 weeks ago and it was perfectly clear all night there. Out of 11 nights I got 10 clear nights with a couple I had to wait an hour or two for some cloud to clear.
It seems the much lower humidity there means even if there is a fair bit of cloud around during the day as soon as night comes and it cools off the cloud is reabsorbed and -bang clear skies!

I agree - 2011 was the worst year I can remember for cloudy nights. When I first moved to Grose Vale in 2006 the nights seemed to sparkle. Say, got room on your dark site for another observatory?
