Thanks David.
Looking forwrad to the bunyip version.

Nicely captured. |
Thanks Peter. As usual you don't miss a thing.
I don't think the glass in IR is significantly different than other wavelengths TBH. It's the first time I've seen any diffractions from the FFC though.
Yeah I'm working on it actively: guiding and camera tilt. Back to the basics. The Ha processing could have been a little lighter handed as well. I got a LUM shot off the ESO and I really wanted to see how far I could dig mine before it looked silly. The rendition only looks half silly.

Thanks a lot Allan.
The way I look at it there's always new stuff to get out of known targets. When we image a DSO every time we remember where the (only) guide star is (greatly helps with an OAG), we know the exposure times that work, we recognise smaller or fainter features and we can process accordingly. So if you know what to look for you get better at it and your pic is a little nicer than same time last year and you hang it up over the old one. It's all part of the fun.
