NGC 6744 in Pavo: 24 hrs

[multiweb (Marc)]

Terrific shot Mike. I had a go at this one from your place on the northern side of the house with the ED80 a while back but did lack focal length. Great to see it close up and personal.

Thanks muchly Marc. Had a brief look at your image and it looked superb, but now we're back home the link no longer seems to work.

That's just beautiful! Wow.

Very nice MnT! This is a difficult one and I've never been able to do it well from my light polluted backyard. Love the smooth background and the subtle colours.

Cheers

Thanks muchly Steve. On light pollution, we've watched Orange (45 km away) grow very rapidly with the mining boom and a commensurate housing boom. Somewhere around 30,000 folk now. But curiously, the light pollution from Sydney, 312 km away, is still the worst.

Splendid image M&T

Currently I'm using the very same target for testing RGB imaging with my modest rig from near Brisbane's CBD. Your inspiring image will serve as a benchmark

Thanks Suavi, we are honoured. Looking forward to seeing your rendition.

Best,
MnT
