Thanks Peter, but the res is just woefull. That Baader FFC is looking mighty attractive !!, been looking for something like that for a while (powermates wouldnt work on my gear).

Thanks Ric, Marc. Ill give them another go when I can get more exposure time........and res.

http://www.topazlabs.com/bundle/ you can trial it - then you end up buying it - like i did

(and some of the sales pitch - no not spam ---> " Now completely compatible with 64-bit Photoshop CS5. Use coupon code "64CS5" for $30 off the bundle until 6/30/2010! " and it works in CS4 (for the 64 bit thingy) and the 32 bit works in cs2 and cs3.

Doesnt work in all cases - but it can help in others

Fantastic colours, love PNs just a shame most are so small.
Definitely not trash & I admire the fact that you push your scopes into realms most fear to tread.
I would much prefer to see a small, fuzzy or grainy image of something rarely, if ever photographed (except by hubble) than see an award winning version of Eta Carina for the gazillionth time.

Some of the other big boys with expensive toys should probably take a leaf from your book & try giving us objects we don't normally see.
No offence intended just doing some of this..

Thanks for sharing Fred, much appreciated.

hehe, thanks Justin. Thats what I think, although Im partial to a really good Eta, it has to be good nowadays or its hoh hum, so I do PNs cause they are different, and theres always room for HUGE improvement and endless Sids ;-).

Thanks for sharing Fred.
Have to agree with Justin, it's nice to see something different.

Keep'em coming as they say

Thanks Mike. There seems to be quite a few out there, although the "easy" ones are done

Yeh apart from the Helix and Dumbell et al, planetaries are one thing the ideal comprimise FL of 1300mm can't realistically target I guess and something a longer FL would be nice to have for

You da extreme imaging man

Lovely work there Fred. Love the smoothness of the images. Sure there is some noise present but nothing to write home about. This is quite an achievement and I often wonder at how imaging has changed in this country in recent years. People like yourself are reaching further and further all the time. Well done.
