Great detail and nicely resolved Alistair!

I'm not a huge fan of M20 as a narrowband target but that's a nice one, Alistair.

Can't help myself - I always look first to see how the main Herbig-Haro collimated jet, and the evaporative gaseous globule next to it, came out. Very well indeed!

You've got a goodly amount of the reflection nebulosity there. Looks good. My 3nm filters tend to block most of it.

Nice image Alistair, and it is great to see your mount is working very well

Nice one Al, good detail and pleasing colours - you're the king of minimal data imaging

Thanks, I presume you mean the Ha? That's why I went with 5nm as I'd get the N2 spectrum as well, atleast that's what I read.

Thanks Slawomir, this was however my hypertuned EQ6, I did get it singing after a lot of crying
But the MyT is going great.

Thanks Andy, I always have plans for long integration times, never happens.. was hoping for 4 hrs of O3.
I was happy with the Ha though. http://www.astrobin.com/full/247692/B/
