Thank Mike.
Same outfit. The one that works consitantly
APO 90mm at prime focus with the QHY8 and Baader 7nm Ha. 600mm FL. I'm ecstatic with the new refractor. I'm not used to something that doesn't go out of collimation when you sneeze on it.

Thanks Allan. Glad you like dit.
That's the plan soon to start on the Oiii first and do some HaOiiOii blends to start with until I get some decent Sii. That's going to be the hard bit.

That was quite easy actually. I stayed on the same side of the meridian all those nights. Started around 7:00pm on Eta/NGC3576 worked my way down to NGC6188, then IC4628, bit of catpaw next on the way and finish with a bit of M16. So I clock a bit more time on all of them as the sky unfolds from the east each night. A bit like channel zapping on the telly
PS: I try to avoid M8 but it's hard...

Thanks Carl.
If I can manage to keep the Oiii/Sii tight it should be cool.
Well put. It is isn't it? Although I have never done NB from a dark site and I don't know if it would look marginally better but you're absolutely right. Ha is a bulldozer. You can get away with a lot between the moon and LP.
