A larger image would be nice but the dust and brighter objects are well displayed.

It's like you have reinvented yourself mate, give yourself a pat on the back my friend and I expect you will be in Parkes next year

mike i have had to rethink my imaging strategy, much longer exposures careful selection of objects, it will be 1 image per 4 nights not 4 images per night.
this scope will excell at larger images in the galactic plane, not so much for galaxies.... although i have made arrangements for some collaborative work in that area......
parkes.... i have plans on entering next year.... i have the whole year to prepare this time, and my images are being done with that very specific purpose in mind, i will be looking for the things not usually done on IIS (no etas or M42 type stuff..... not when peter and others put in pinpoint sharp 5000mm FL shots) . the detail in some of those images is unbeatable.
speaking of which YOU have been very quiet about your entries this year !!!! so where are they ?

Glad you had a couple more clear nights to finish it

Beautifully composed and processed.

i had a quick shot at another framing before i realized this was the way to go. time is the key to good images in low brightness objects

thanks Clive

Too kind Liz ... Thanks

Superb image Clive.
I see a halo around ngc 6144. Is that an artefact?
|
you thought i had forgotten you...... went and had a look at other images around, pretty much there in some form on images. it must be thin dust being shone through.. bit like the halo around the sun on a light foggy morning....... (it sounds credible enough) the other bright stars dont show the same...... well spotted.
