The large version is stunning and vibrant.

Question, will O3 get you much more?

Thanks, Justin. I have seen some nice Rosette images with both Ha and OIII blended so I assume it is worth trying!

Thanks, Dave. I did try a quick S curve and wasn't that fussed on the result but perhaps I'll experiment a bit more.

Thanks, Geoff. Yep, some nice skies down there. It was pretty frosty too!

Thanks for the suggestion, Steve. I'll give it a try.

Love the colours and detail.

Your telescope gives a great FOV.


Ross.

Thanks, Ross. It's a great FOV for big game! Not much use for galaxies though, apart from M31 and the Magellanic Clouds.
