Nice one Robin. It has that winter snotty look about it. NB colours always confuse me but the detail is always that bit sharper than the RGB versions.

Well done Mate.

Yikes, I was really enjoying until Doug's realistic suggestion
Hmm, I'll have to get one of those Q3 filters - seems to have given you an unfair advantage Robin...:
Seriously - great shot. Be nice to see a bit more of a mosaic in the area?

Lovelly Robin.

Certainly a different perspective and I very much like it. It reminds me of an orb weaving spider.

Cheers,
Darrin...

Cheers guys, just a quicky to check the robofocus was working again on this tiny scope before astrofest, only about 2hours data if that. But yes, I think NB lets you see stuff you normally don't not to mention imaging under a big moon.

Hey that looks cool. An interesting colour scheme I have not seen before. I like it.
How'd you do that?

Greg.

Sorry, can't afford the mount
Didn't even have the cash for the gold coast show
Being self employed in a downturn truly is a pig
Business is down about 60% and it's the same for all my clients.
