Thanks Louie & Fred.

Fred - Now I just want to replicate the image using my 11" SCT @ F/6.3... I tend to agree with your sentiments.. Narrowfield really does rule... Wide field is nice and easy though!

Maybe I'll throw the task to GRAS untill I get a bigger mount to carry the SCT... Who knows..

Nice work Alex. Lots of detail especially in the fainter areas. I prefer your first pic more than the second as it looks more natural but hey they both look great.

Man, start using your C11 for some imaging.

Well done.

I've used it once or twice Matt, the problem is that the EQ6 just isn't up to the task really... It can do it... but the tiniest little bit of wind ruins subs... poor seeing destroys images... its just so hard to use right... Its coming though... a real big... real tuff mount to carry the C11 without breaking a sweat....

Really nice.

Hey isn't that upside down? I see you are in Aussie not the Northern Hemisphere.

Greg.

Thanks Greg... It makes me very happy to hear you like it, as I have one of your M42 images as my desktop background (Have had for months

)

Yes, he may be upside down, but thats the way it came out of the camera, so thats the way I posted it

Thanks for the compliment.

Upside down is fine!

I was in the US last year and it always seemed funny seeing M42 "upside down".

Greg.
