Hi Steve,

NGC 1975 comes up as the running man in orion in guide 8.

But yep, like having a challenge.
There's some interesting galaxies to image.

Cheers,

Justin.

Whoops - sorry. Don't know why I said NGC 1975. It's actually NGC 1792 and here's a picture I took of it.

That dust detail is stunning, 14" RC really separates the fine detail. Moon gradients are a big pain.

Thanks John. These days it only ever seems to be clear about a week either side of full moon.

Thanks Steve!

My field is 95 x 63 arcminutes, can fit 1808 and 1792 in the same frame.
They are 6.3 and 5.6 arc minutes ( long axis ) so it will be interesting to see what detail I can get.
Need very good seeing me thinks!

Cheers,

Justin.

Well good luck. I'll be interested to see the result.

very classy image Steve - high res and colour is great. the core detail is very interesting as well - unusual.

Only just seen. Never too late to say Superb! Good rendition of dust detail, and love the faint fuzzies in the background.
