great Shot Doug.

Goes to show how far amateur astroimaging has come over the last couple of years. Compare this shot with what Jerry Lodrigus was doing only a few years ago and even David Malins HH in The Colours of the Universe (which i know isnt fair comparing with emulsion and reduction for printing) but this far surpasses what was considered great only a few years ago. (showing my age here)

I know the equipment is great but a lot is in ability in capture and processing as well. Congratulations

Mark

Doug, please say it was on Monday night and not on Saturday night when I inadvertently shone my red light on you.

Thanks everyone for the great comments. The images were taken on the Monday night. I retired at about 3:30am and left the scope imaging until I got up in the morning. I ended up with 11 images but on close inspection decided 2 were not up to the same standard as the rest so these 2 were dumped. I still have a lot to learn with the processing side of it but with this little scope I am enjoying the ride.
Thanks again.
