[ballaratdragons (Ken)]

pffft. Hasn't even got the Humunculus in it!

Where's me Toucam and I'll show him what it's suppose to look like. . . . thinks he's clever coz he's got a 1.5m scope . . .I'll fix his wagon . . . . . . . . . .

[h0ughy (David)]

ok so its sharp, natural looking and full of detail, well focussed and contains swirling masses of Neb. 1.5M of ap is awesome!

[xelasnave]

That’s the spirit Ken .
I got a mount planned that will hold 7 12 inch scopes each one with dedicated camera and filter ha etc colors ... er maybe with the 16 inch coming make that 7 16 inch scopes ... a neat challenge to get those results on little cash maybe 4 ten inch otas first up ….ok that is what we gotta beat …. Something to aim for .

I'm sure you or Scott will have the opportunity to attach a camera to Georges BIG scope when he finished it, he will have to make it track though.

A few good old Aussie adjectives come to mind, but being a man of the cloth, I will limit myself to....

BUGGER!

that's definitely a good Kodak moment!

Copy...paste...onto the desktop...

[Ingo]

[davidpretorius]

I guess on a per unch of aperature, mine isnt too bad hehehe. Interesting the image is mirror reversed too. I thus mirrored mine to suit (3x15minutes through my "tiny in comparison" 10 inch f5.6 scope, hand guided at that.

Scott

[ving (David)]

that made you rise to the challenge scott!
hehe!

i noticed something, is that a dust bunny above the main star?

I see faces in all astrophotos. M42 just looks like a huge face to me.
