Hi long lost friends of Oz,
How is everyone? I stumbled on a 'best imagers in Australia' page today and was reminded of how many great folks there are working here- wow. I see we have a pretty lively int'l community here these days so I hope it is alright if I post four newer ones for you. I do hope you enjoy-
Really like the second and third image. Great field of view and superbly processed. M78 looks a little noisey to me, but still filled with heaps of detail.
Thank to all very, very much! Greg, the scope has since been flattened since this data, thanks to the excellent help of Rich of DeepSkyInstruments Ashley at Precise Parts, Mike Rice and my partner Dave Raphael for designing the cell. Regarding noise guys, yes- I'm finally over OSC. I can't get enough data (sometimes 12 hours at f/9) to make a smooth enough result. I hope to be mono soon. Would love to meet many of you. Strongman Mike- you are one dude I would really like to chat with sometime! Thanks again all.
