Gday all,

This weekends effort - M20 - LRGB at 130:30:30:30

DSI = DeepSky Instrument. Top shelf RC10

Ohhhh. lol. I completely skipped the QHY-9 bit and thought it was taken with a DSI II.

Still, it is a beautiful image. Awesome work, Grahame.

Graeme - a textbook shot! great stuff...
Do you have the DS with the field flattener?? - I have similar optics but in 12" and with a flattener - I am still cosidering removing the flattener in mine as I use a 6303chip and suspect I can get away with it - mainly to get some more backfocus for my RC.
cheers

oh...
forgot to add that the reason for my question was that my flattener is actually the same as the one supplied with the 10" DeepSky Instruments RC - Paul Jones advised that the 10" flattener was compatible with my 12" RC optical set.

thanks, guy

[Grahame (Grahame)]

Thanks all! Seems im heading down the right track with my processing finally FYI I am using Astronomik type IIc filters. and eXcalibrator to give me an idea of the colour ratios i need to use during stacking.

Guy: Yes im using the corrected version which will future proof me for larger CCD's.

Grahame.

[Hagar (Doug)]

Very nice Grahame. Everything looks very nice. Nothing here to be concerned about.

[peter_4059 (Peter)]

Great image Grahame. The detail in the nebulosity is very amazing.

[leinad (Dan)]

Cracker of a shot Grahame. Over jealous of your optics
One of my favourites, and this is certainly pleasing to the eye.
Keep em' coming.
