Hi all,
I received a magical email inviting me here, not sure where it came from but I'm glad. What a great site for aussie astronomy!
I plan to have a good look around soon. But in the meantime, here is my first offering,
As well as the odd galaxy shot I have been concentrating on emission nebula images, combining long-exposure Hydrogen-alpha with RGB to get detailed colour images.
This is one I completed recently of the carina nebulae NGC3603 (left)and NGC3576 (right). These two nebula appear to be one, but 3603 is almost twice as far away as 3576.
Thanks Mike,
Not really a web designer, only my own. But I am a programmer and write the site code myself. It's all Html, CSS and javascript written with a text editor.
I am at work man .. doing the astro sites.. its a full time pursuit let me tell you.
That is a fantastic photograph, you sure know your stuff, congratulations and welcome to the site from me.
So where are some more please sir.

Thanks Mike, will post my gear to the gear forum soon. I was just checking out some of the great equipment there. I really like the look of the Royce, but the poor old mount looks like it wants mercy!
Alex..Thanks! Sounds like you have a great job I will post more images, slowly. I have a lot of them, but have to resample them down to a postable size.
Should we all not email a friend and let them know about this wonderful site?
Great idea alex

Mark Hodson lives up your way, there's a lot of brisbanites from the forum that get together regularly for some observing.. i'm sure they'd love you to join them.
I always like meeting new like-minded fanatics. I am a defacto member of the SAS and always spend the entire week at the QLD Astrofest. Really looking forward to it again this year. For the last six years (7 maybe..), I take all of my gear up there and camp for the week. It's great to catch up with people I only see once a year and spend the entire week doing nothing else..
If Mark and his crew heads to Astrofest this year I might catch up with them then.
This is a really great forum. I can see me spending a lot of time here while waiting for images to download. This weekend is looking good if the forecasts and current weather are any indication.
Hi Eddie, Ive seen alot of your images around the net you do great work ! This site really is a great place full of great people and with the monthly starparty's now happening you get to meet alot of them.
Man what a great idea Iceman had creating this site.
