Hi guys,

Took this last night. Something different i guess. 11 x 2 minute exposure stacked. wanted to do more exposures but the clouds came in midway.

Was wondering if i use a UHC-S filter, the red nebula behind the star would enhance and show up more?

thanks

Put on the UHCS filter and see if you can double the exposures and you may be pleasantly surprised

awwww wowww! that is sooo nice!! You have convinced me to get a UHCS filter scott! gonna place my order at AOE

oh btw, i don't have any filters at all i guess the UHCS is the most used one?

Very nice nebula shot Ezy, nice colour

I don't know how you find so much time to get these images, I struggle to get a few nights in every new moon period to take images ...work, house chores, partner to ocassionally pay attention to in the hope of being allowed more astro toys...

But you manage to clock out the images like there's no tomorrow!
