Well, like for many others on the east coast, the weather finally cleared here in Newcastle on Sat and Sun nights

Warm weather was on the table but nothing a cold beer doesn't sooth Saturday had a bit of annoying cloud floating around on occassions which were a pain (and of course only appeared right as I started my first exposure bracket ) but Sunday night was perfect, even the seeing wasn't too bad, still only average but at least not pure soup The NJP mount even loaded up like a Donkey was like a laser guided missile all night (without PEC)

Anyway....

Here is the Vela Super Nova remnant ...probably like you haven't seen it before as once again I have used narrowband data to produce an RGB like result

Who knows...and I know it would be rather strange for me to do ...may even produce another version in the coming days
