Here is another far northern reflection nebula in Cepheus. It continues my series of reflection and dusty nebulae.

Since I image with two cameras at the same time I get two images of the same area; one higher resolution and one wider FOV. Here is the wider FOV:

Nice image Tom, those nebulae are new to me.

[multiweb (Marc)]

Another beautiful picture Tom. This large aperture fast scope of yours certainly does capture a lot of the faint stuff. Top work.

Great shots Tom....fantastic detail in the neb, and really nice colours

[AlexN]

Terrific as always Tom...

The OSC data is quite amazing on its own... Great field of view thats for sure...

How do you find the STL-11000 OSC compares in sensitivity to the mono? I would think they are much the same.. (provided you looked at say, just the red channel from the OSC vs a red filtered image from the mono)

[telecasterguru (Frank)]

Beautiful images with great depth.

God dam, three big CCD's and four lovely telescopes across two hemispheres now that is imaging nirvana...you could present at this:

Beautiful work Tom, when you making SBIG's hall of fame then..? You could be in FLI's and ASA's too

I find it stacks up quite favorably.

I think my imaging target preferences are too obscure ....

BTW, Salieri my foot! You an imaging master for sure!

Wow! Masterful images.

The widefield blew me away!

Well done, as always.

Its not that tom could be in their hall of fame, more that he really should be..

Interesting to hear about the colour vs mono stl11k. I might have to stick my full frame dslr into my tmb to see how badly it will vignette... Could be an option when the stx cameras come out and the stl series drop in price..

Very seriously nice.
