Deep space nuclear blast

[Vince G]

Greetings all,

I recently bought a new QHY8 camera but have only been able to image for several minutes between cloudy nights.

I may have come across a nuclear war in deep space.
This image shows what looks like an atom bomb explosion
with mushroom shape.

Hi Vince, I've never heard the Keyhole described that way but you are right it does have the appearance of a mushroom cloud.

Nice image.

Thanks Ric,
I was wondering if any-one would recognise the nebula

Vince, a very good descriptive, perhaps they shoud rename it the "fat boy" nebula.

A different perspective, keep posting images as i am VERY interested to know how this camera performs.

Yes Phil. That would make a few wonder about it

I don't know when I can get another clear night to image with it.
I've had about 5 hours over three months.

This camera is very good.
6.1million pixels gives you a big area.
Have a look at www.qhyccd.com there are quite a few images on that sight.
It's the original home of the camera.
The Aussie site is http://web.aanet.com.au/gama
it also has images and a link to home images and forum.

If my weather clears I'll post some images.
