Indeed, quite interesting when you put NGC1809 in that perspective Terry. There are undoubtedly numerous other object obscured by presence. Thanks again.

391 stars found in Tycho2.
10672 DSOs in the FOV.

Cheers Andrew. Quite a wow factor with a 10,672 DSO count! One too many targets for a longer focal then. I think it would be possible to image around the area for many months and not be disappointed given the diversity of targets, Ha and OIII emission lines along with tight star clusters. Thanks for giving unimap a whirl.

That was a long time at the helm which paid off, top shot.

i remember seeing the SMC mosaic in print in Parkes and being very impressed then. this would be beautiful to see in a gallery too. really nice.
love the story about the monitor too.. http://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/..../winking70.gif |
Cheers Phil! Never too late. I reflect on the SMC mosaic, only two panels. Seems like childs play now. Though I shouldn't underestimate the effort that went into it. Last weekend, I cabled the monitor into the remote power switch. Lesson learnt on that one. The only problem now is that if I want to turn it on when I'm in the observatory, I need to use another computer in the house to turn it on at the switch. There is no manual override. Oh well, minor hassle.

Thanks all. Appreciate the support over the year. I'd like to take this opportunity to wish you, your family and the IIS community as a whole a Merry Christmas and prosperous New Year. Keep safe over the holiday season. May clear dark skies grace us all. Darn it, there is more data to collect and imaging projects to complete.
All the best
