Hey that's nice Paul, I like the way NGC 3576 glows in the middle of the shot and you have delineated the colour difference between the two nebulae nicely.
That sounds great Rolf and I am envious already of the colder temps you will be able to sustain.
Mike, it is nice to image rather than trouble shoot. I am trying to get Software Bisque to give me a PDF on the factory settings for all things PME. It makes for peace of mind. Sorting out problems that are caused by others in not my idea of fun. Instructive yes, but not fun.
Just came back to this after a quick look yesterday. Fantastic image and way better than your last go at the same object - nicer composition too. I love the contrast of the blue stars against the nebula field. I guess there's been something positive in all your problems with the mount if it caused you to take out the TSA again. Don't stop doing the wider fields.
Graeme I will not be stopping my wide field adventures. I might have to delay some more while I get the RC imaging with a few targets, but I too like the wide field images.
Greg, yes I don't think I will ever go back to a guide scope. Once I got the OAG working I have never looked back.
