That image is already at 0.83"/pix at prime focus anyway...that's plenty good enough in my general conditions I recon and I'm at F3.8 at that res too

who could get less lazy I guess...? |
Fair enough. Forgot you were semi-remote. Gee that corrector looks like a gun barrel.

really outdid yourself this time - that's a fantastic image of the region, particularly considering the wide dynamic range.

Yes, I must say that is very tasty indeed, you do produce some crackers sometimes Mike  . Apart from the detail, the colour balance is most attractive  .

Thanks a lot for the appreciation men from two who produce their own fair share of cracker jacks, it is nice to know I can returned the favour

Thanks H glad you like it, the seeing was quite good on the night but not the best I have had and like planetary imaging this sort of high res deep sky imaging is still seeing limited so it could have been better buuut sigh...all we can do is use what the sky condition gods dish up at the time, huh? ...take last night (Thursday), the seeing started out crap then improved slightly then went crap again and wouldn't improve...perfectly clear night of course - very frustrating  ...went home at 1am regardless with only some very ordinary data  (this is not an obsesssion...this is not an obsession...this is....) 
Mike

Really nice image Mike and I like the presentation of this one. The lobes on Eta Carina are pretty awesome. Understandable re- the clouds, I've had similar problems of late. 30minute subs have been a real challenge for me. I can certainly see the advantage of faster optics and more suitable image scale.

Cheers Chris, yes clouds and the seeing..sigh...perpetually our nemesis huh? The AG12 is pretty well the ultimate in imaging scope versatility really while still remaining affordable and manageable and they (and fast 10" to 12" ATM versions) have become quite popular in recent times for exactly this reason
