Very nice Marc. I really like the look of images using Hydrogen Alpha and these two are spectacular. Well done.

Excellent depth and smooth as Marc, the hyperstar is working nicely there. Now something harder, and in colour ;-), Im sure your somewhat past the M42 done that.

Mind you, if a mega mosaic is in the works, thats hard enough, look forward to it ;-)

I'd echo what Fred said - they are beautiful, smooth and stunningly deep... Now give us something we've not seen before!

Wow Marc!! Awesome images and incredible detail!

Nice work

Cheers Daniel.

Thanks for all the comments guys. Much appreciated

RGB's nice but not possible from my backyard. Ha is convenient and can stand out on its own. For me it's NB at best from home. Once a month when and if I can get away I usually do some color if the weather's ok from a dark site.

I want to do high-res mosaics so I can connect the dots between familiar targets. Always loved wide-field. The Hyperstar is ideal for this. So I'm afraid you won't see anything new from me for while as I plan to hammer the LMC and Carina next then Ara.

Yeh that's a great ability to have Marc - cool

Looks great

Just curious what's the brightening lower left in each image?

Thanks Mike. Likely due to flat fielding. Still struggling with the levels with this rig. That should disappear when I mosaic and stitch. I'll deal with that later.

Exceptional clarity in these fine images the dust lanes are outstanding in Ha

Thanks Trev - glad you liked it

Great start on these objects Marc!
Looks like things are going great for you.
It's just a bonus when your gear works flawlessly... makes the collection and processing even sweeter.

Look forward to the finished products...
Should be excellent.

Thanks Rich. Where have you been? Done any imaging lately?

Still here Marc,
yes have been out a week or so ago, but moon and conditions have made for a poor time of it.
Need some rain and need autumn to get itself here... now!
Have another ccd coming soon, so hopefully the weather will play ball.. it will be the SX H16..

Should give me some inspiration and get me that extra bit keener!

All the best
Rich
