A wonderful image Jase, I too have not seen this galaxy or area before.

Certainly is fascinating though

Top stuff.

The distant galaxies with the interstellar dust make such a beautiful contrasting image. Nicely composed as well. Pitty the seeing/weather was not on your side but you still pulled the rabbit out the hat for sure!
cheers Gary

Thanks Gary. Yes, a commonly overlooked area of the sky. Would be an interesting challenge for dslr users given the faintness of the IFN. There are a few gems like this lurking in our southern skies.

You are a master at this art.

That object is new to me and its on the list now. Cheers mate.

Cheers Greg. Pleased you liked it. Would make an interesting FOV with the BRC, so looking forward to seeing what you come up with in due time.

Nice work as usual !

Yes Steve, the Pingelly skies aren't too bad to image from that's for sure. Clearly you still need to pick your nights and targets to maximise the conditions at the time. There isn't a seeing monitor at deployed there so it can be a bit of hit and miss when imaging remotely. Good luck with the move to the dark sky site. Your image quality should step up a notch or two not having to deal with crazy gradients.

Cheers Clive. Yes, the quest for quality is an ongoing process. There are trends such as improved accessibility to high end gear and new processing techniques, though it still takes considerable work to push the boundaries.

Thanks Ric. Its something different for a change compared to the mainstream targets.

Thank you all for making comment. I appreciate the support - it is what drives us to push ourselves. Thanks again.

Thanks Jase, I certainly hope so ... imaging the night sky and composing and recording music in the peace and quiet of the country are my goals ... away from the rat race that even Perth has become of late.

Good one Steve. You are like me. I want to do the same.

Greg.
