Last image from last night - NGC1566 15x5mins again with the qhy8 and Newt.

Not a great image but happy to have some decent weather.

That's a really nice shot. Very sharp and you can see a lot of details in the spiral. Might be able to barlow your scope next time out.

Thanks Marc. I will have another go at this object when I have a bit more time - it's one of my favorites. The image scale with the qhy8 doesn't lend itself to galaxies like the DSI II did. I'd hate to see my camera with a barlow - the paracorr and spacer already make it very long.

Nice. Needs some more subs but then its easy for me to say that.

My second favorite galaxy and you have done a nice job on it to bring out the faint extensions.

Lovely little Galaxy Peter, Looks like it is spinning very fast. You could try a Median filter on the background to reduce the dappled effect a bit,

Well done.
