Maaate! for 3x2min subs thats fantastic!

I'd be stoked with that result... Its so smooth, deep and detailed for only 6 minutes..

Fantastic effort!

Amazing amount of detail from 6 minutes worth of exposure Allan. Nicely processed. Well done

I agree with the other posters well done for 6 min exposure.

Cheers

Why did I always so many shots as possible? You show that it`s not necessary

Excellent 6min Alan. And kudos to you to get 6 min in this weather.

I got 5min on RhoPh Friday evening then had to pack up under the rain... cursing I might add

Still pretty p**ed off about it.

I'd be over the moon with such a great image for such a short time Alan! Is that using a modded 20D? Really shows off the extra H2 sensitivity....

Amazing result for only 6 minutes! I could only imagine what more exposures will do.

Well done.
