First image in a while. Condition was poor with high humidity and temparature. Seeing wasnt that great either I believe because my FWHM was arround 4 where I usually get much lower FWHM than that with my current set up.

Scope: TSA 102 with Reducer
Guiding: ED80, Orion SSAG
Mount: G11
Imager: Qhy8
Exp: 20x 180sec, 6x 600s

Still a very nice image though, well done! i like the blend and transition of colours, gives it nice depth.

out of interest, what FWHM value do you usually get? i can get down to about 1.4ish

The best i could get with EQ6 was 2.7 with 5min Exp. Since getting G11 I hardly got a chance to measure it.

Very nice image Sadia, It certainly fills the field of view quite easilly.

Well done.
