wow, thats very nice, sharp as. A hyperstar meade?, didnt know that was possible ;-)(whats the f ratio?). You have guideing and focus nailed, top work on a meade mount. Thats a lot of exposure time in total, what were the sub exposure times?.

I assume that is a crop?

Excellent image, one I wouldn't have thought would stand up to the relatively short FL this well

That is quite nice, as has been said focus and guiding is superb. Well done.

That's a beauty, love the colours.

Cheers

Nice image, and I like your diffraction spike processing. I take it the small fat spikes are from the cables, and the long thin ones are added in post processing? Overall effect is pleasing

Thanks all of your nice words, and i am happy that everyone like it. The image is not croped and the subframes are 3min. It is f=700m and FOV 30x20. Thanks again and soon we will have a new images.
