I took this over the last new moon weekend. Seeing was pretty variable. I probably threw out about 30% of my subs.
Exposure: 60m L, 50-60 min each of R, G, B and Ha. Ha eased into the red channel.
Telescope: 12.5" Plane wave
Camera: QSI 540wsg.

Nice detail and colour in that close up view, Geoff!

[Geoff45 (Geoff)]

Thanks Rick. It's the Ha that adds that nice bit of extra colour and contrast.

Nice work, Geoff,

I particularly like your handling of the crisp dark intricately detailed dust lanes.

Best,
Mike

Love it. I can feel the awesomeness just 12o'clock of your field.

Thanks Mike. It would have been crisper had the seeing cooperated

That's a good image Geoff especially for under moon conditions.

Thanks Greg. The moon wasn't a problem: a thin early setting crescent.
