Hi all long time no see,bit pressed for time lately..and i have nearly finished my newtonian!

Nice image there. Was that taken with your Takahashi scope?
Nice and deep for 70 mins

Nicely done Skelty.
Full of detail, I can almost image what the colour version would look like.

[skeltz (Rob)]

Yeah scotty,that was with the fs102
thanks also matty ,colour will have to wait until my newt see,s first light as i am getting to many internal reflections in the fs.

[theodog (Jeff)]

Nice, clear and sharp.
I think it looks OK B&W.
Well done

[sheeny (Al)]

Hi Skelty, a lovely Ha rendition of the HH region with some great depth and definition.

Very nice work.

[ballaratdragons (Ken)]

WoW!
I am not usually into B&W images, but your image at full res is fantastic!!!!!!!

It seems more eery than a colour version. It seems to give the feeling of a cold, scarey, lonely overwheming place to visit.

It's got a great 'feeling' about it
Terrific work.

Thanks for the comments everyone,as i said it was a bit of a quicky but didn,t turn out to bad.
hopefully my newtonian will see first light in a couple of weeks
cheers all

Ah a good quicky....

I love Ha images, they remind me of the good'ol Kodak 2415 tech pan film days (red sensitive fine grain film) but only sharper, particularly if you are using a mono CCD.

Nice work considering you didn't have to do much ...I'm jealous

Hey Roberto,
glad you published this one.
Last game day when I saw it thought it looked great.
Like Mike, I too love the B&W images, especially through Ha.
Lots of detail and like the way you've handled AlNitak.

One critique, and I know the time with this scope is almost at an end, buuuutt, you should crop out the coma around the periphery, this would make this spot on.

Well done.
Rich
