Great shot, Marcus Plenty of faint fuzzies in that one, as well. Need more aperture to get those!!

Very nicely done Marc. You really have the RC humming along now. Hope the weather co-operates throughout summer for you.

Thanks a lot Carl! Either way, a mole is a defect

Cheers Rob! But don't talk to me about the weather ... alright? Or the seeing! . I've been having a devil of a time getting respectable data for my current project (NGC 7424). It's a dim one and I think I'm lucky these days to get seeing better than 3 arcsec!!!

Was just thinking Marcus, could your issues be a localised seeing effect? I don't recall you having such a bad run in past years?... you know, something in your equipment, the dome, maybe the new scope is just more sensitive to the seeing?...ooor perhaps you've just placed an A/C compressor just outside the dome or something...?

Nope - everything's the same - except the sky! I've had some great seeing with the new scope - a year or two ago (see my 253 and my 1365). Just recently I had some very good seeing (just shy of excellent) while gathering some RGB for this image. Just unlucky I guess.

top image Marcus. Very nicely processed - to the extent that the processing is not obvious.

yeah, wonder what is going on with the seeing this year? have only had the odd patch of passable FWHM for the last 6 months.
