Awesome shot Jeff. Fantastic colours, really well framed and you just gotta love the Ha that modded canons can show up. Well done!

Lovely job. A couple of processing tricks could quieten down the blown
out core of M42.

Really jealous I couldn't get up there but no spots and combined with the fact I became I footy widow over the weekend doen't help. All that said great shot mate, looks like you got things sorted. Tony.

Thanks, David, Bruce Raymo and Colin. I still have another 15 frames that I took on the next night which I have not tried to integrate and I have some shorter frames to do some HDR on the brighter nebulae. I might get around to doing that next weekend.
Cheers.

It was a good turnout, Tony. I got Mary D started on some imaging and she has some great first shots. Steve W got his first good image of M31. They will probably be in the November Bulletin. Cheers.
