This a laugh, about as not-hubble as you can get, big time

But you know, someone has to do it, or you wouldnt know just how impossible it was to image with amature gear, and how good Hubble really is

.

OIII:SII:Ha in a combination I cant remember now. All 10min bin1 subs.

Its mag 12 and about 22 arc secs in diameter, taken last night, full moon .

Yours must be the first picture and the second one Hubble out of focus

Still well done with such a tiny bugger and with full moon

ermhh... could be a drop of southo on the lens...

... nice shot. Lovely colors.

Close to normal FoV there, Fred. Just need a bigger scope and you'll have Hubble beaten, hands down!!!

Very exceptable image Fred, for such a small planetary, good to see what amateur gear can do in comparison to Hubble. Thanks for the view.

Yellow seems dominant with your gear as opposed to the Hubble. I wonder why? Nice shot at it anyway.

Great attempt at something so small Fred. Almost another wide field from you. Half a dozen stars again.
What is the FL of this scope?
If you keep getting smaller targets you will need something bigger. Start saving.

Thanks Guys
OK, with the colour, is this better ;-).
Yes, 2250mm is a bit marginal. I am saving.

Nice to see you in fine 'narrow field' form again Fred!

CoolhandJo (Paul) · #10 18-05-2011, 02:54 PM

Umm. The Yellow is nicer BUT both side by side would be awesome! Like David Bowie!
