Hi Rolf
thanks for posting such a comprehensive study of this amazing region. You are really pushing the boundaries with standard equipment and your image is inspiring.

Wow! just wow! Amazing pix and more on your website. And the explanations and information is just so fascinating. Many thanks for your inspiration.

I've got a couple of darksites picked up in the Waitakeres I will use when the weather allows. Only a half hour drive from Mt Albert so looking forward to seeing more deep sky one day soon.

Rolf,

I have a single image from my C14 at F/11 (STL 11000) aimed at where I think the Abell target is. Very quick aiming shot binned, no flats/darks etc...

I cant tell for certain though if I was aiming at the right spot.

Would you possibly know from your experience in star hoping if I'm aiming at the right area?

thanks
frank

Thanks John, yes it is quite fascinating what is visible with quite basic equipment.

Thanks Luis I'm glad you liked it. I am dedicated, that's for sure - perhaps bordering the insane

Hi Frank, I'm afraid I can't recognise the field - I checked in Starry Night and that distinctive 'double star' you've got in the upper right doesn't seem to appear near Abell 2667. What's the FOV in your image?

Ok, good luck with the star hopping Frank. It's not the easiest target to find, but that only makes the satisfaction bigger once you do find it
