Hi All

Living in Curl Curl on Sydney's northern beaches is hard to beat, except if you wish to take astro pics. Sea level, lots of clouds, sea spray, high air moisture content etc.
First world problem I suppose.
5 x 20 minute plus 3 x 5 minute through Ha filter, QSI683, FLT 132, G11, Loadstar.
Can't complain about my gear but maybe need to find a better location for taking pics, but I am not moving house.
Sorry about the JPEC artifacts.

Regards Greg.

The posted image is no good Greg, you need to make it smaller before saving, it currently looks like the Lagoon Nebula is made of Lego

Yeah what the big guy said.

[HarryD (Greg)]

Yep what he said.

Still having trouble reducing it down without the Lego effect.

Irfanview. Is free. Is good. I reckon there is a great image under there.

you can reduce it with the "fit images to window" icon top right frame
