Great image Justin,

The PN has come out well in only 50 minutes - must be the fast F/4.
I am seriously considering an 8" F/4 or F/5.

Congratulations, Justin. Most impressive. Nice handling of the stars, too.
Best, Mike.

Great work Justin

Your images continue to impress Justin - another great shot. You must also live in a place where clear skies occur too given your output.

Cheers

Great work Justin, especially with a DSLR. That planetary is pretty faint.

Thanks Tony!

An 8" F/4 will perform well, just be prepared for some frustration with collimation and a few flexure issues.
Once you are on top of those they are a pleasure to image with.

Yes, reasonably happy with the stars, just wish I was little more consistent processing them.

Thanks Steve!

Autumn usually delivers reasonably clear skies, and I usually only go to 3 hours on most images, ten being the most I've done.
Allows me to post lots and trawl for less imaged DSO's.

My next challenge will be Abell 31 being mag 27 per arc second. Diameter 17 x 16 arc minutes.
Visual mag is listed at 12.2, I think it will be like Abell 35 to image and process.

That is just magic Justin, beauty of a field, dig the spiky stars and the PN looks real nice and tucked away in there, tho still steels the show, a mighty fine image - well done

Abell 33 is my favourite so far.

Cheers,
