Lovely work Fred. I initially saw this image on your post to the the SBIG yahoo group. Well composed and processed.

I thought Hubble was up in Space! Not in your back yard.

Fantastic imaging Fred!!!!

Gee, thanks Guys, thanks for your kind words, Im chuffed

Yeah, posting on the SBIG group is a scary proposition, formal, but the response is encauraging if its half way in their league at least. Can be helpfull too. I am mostly here
http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/MelbMeadeScopes/, its nice there too.

And Jase, you have a smick web site, flash gear, and Ive seen many of your posts that proves you have the nouse, whats with the lack of colour pics?.

Your neb gallery is a bit sparse (kidding, just a gee up).

Cheers
Fred

I hear you. Pretty game posting there, but you've got what it takes. I think when you get praise from Mr. Gendler, you know your playing with the big guys.

I've been scopeless for sometime, but not anymore - http://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/s...ad.php?t=20319

So stay tuned. Colour is imminent. Thanks for the kick in the pants (reality check).

Keep up the good work Fred. Really like what you've done to date.

A truly wonderful collection.

Hey Fred,
superb image..... so much depth and detail, just unreal...
I like this palette's colour rather than the Hubble's... looks more realistic imo.

And to think this is what ground based scopes are capable of...
Man., we've come a long way with scopes, filters, software.

Brilliant!!! Simply Brilliant Fred!!!!

Thanks for sharing.

Great pics, especially from Sydney area, the narrowband filters really work well.
