Two from Astrofest with QHY10

[ozstronomer (Geoff)]

I picked up a QHY10 OCS for some wide fields. This was used with a W.O 72mm Megrez and televue x 0.8 flattener/reducer. It took a while to sort out the Bias and offset values. Thanks Allan for saving the day

3 hrs on the Dark Doodad, I was happy with the shot although I had difficulty getting the star cluster white with Pixinsight.

3 Hrs on the Veil-Wide field. i was happy with the scale but I've always found processing difficult with the associated star field. I have included a version with less stars

Thanks for looking

Great views Geoff. Especially like the veil shots.

[RickS (Rick)]

Nice shots and a great FOV, Geoff. Might be worth some experiments on the Veil with Masked Stretch or maybe applying more stretch to the nebulosity and less to the stars with a mask.

Good stuff. Love the doodad.

Looks like you sorted out the processing issues you mentioned @ Duckadang, very nice images Geoff.

[allan gould]

Great images Geoff. You really have been a busy little processing maniac.

great stuff - though i feel the dark doodad could do with a HDR repro in PI

[Ross G]

Great photos Geoff.

I really like your Dark Doodad.

Ross.

Nice Geoff, my preference goes to the doodad, lovely part of sky
