Wish I had some of that resolving power.

Coupled to the 16803 chip, yes the AG12 provides both field of view and resolving power, a nice compromise

Hi John

Yes wind is the last thing I need to deal with I guess at least I have sky darkness and seeing more in my favour now Yes there is galactic Cirrus in the area and I picked it up with only 95min Lum so just for you...Here you go Deep Negative

Thanks Marcus, yes the AG12 is finally showing her capabilities, I always knew she had them but to finally see them is great. When I am finally out of the wind and on the better nights (which I actually get a few of now!) the stars will tighten up further and even more detail will be extracted

That supernova is very bright indeed. I often wonder when we'll see one in our own galaxy, it seems well overdue now. But I guess there could have been one on the other side hidden from our view.
Thanks Rolf, yes it is nice to be able to go out and snap a deep and detailed colour image of a galaxy cluster in just 3hrs of imaging, can't do that with a little FSQ he he....
