Your last hubble comparison I was suprised at how little difference there was between the two images, here I start to see the advantages of being mounted in space.

Of course, that one was comparing with a smaller image scale HST image (mosaic), HH 666 is in there too, that's where I noticed it... but it took a few days This HST shot of HH 666 is much larger image scale (ie up closer) and yep, the compariosn also shows what our atmosphere is capable of (not to mention 2.3m of aperture) ...that night wasn't even good for me as far as seeing goes either
I thought so, this brings me to either a noob question or a pearler. What units does the hubble use for its image scale? Arc seconds per pixel?
Depends on the camera used..and there have been a few change outs too since launch, I know it's got plenty of focal length but the info is out there just have to google it mate
No not really but...what sort of evil chickens play pianos anyway mate..? sheesh

I've thought of imaging some parts of Eta at a higher resolution ... buuuut I think I'll leave it alone now.
Your current work is plenty ressy enough dude move on...until you get that elusive 17" CDK btw can you PM me your next target so I don't do it..or perhaps we could negotiate or do a roster
Hi Mike, again you surprise me, apart from the ability of taking always great images also for the detailed analisys you make in digging out hidden treasures
Very nice "bit" and overall an extremely well done Carina

Thanks Marco, from you particularly... it's nice to hear
Once again great to see one really pushing his gear hard and getting every last detail out. Amazing that when I was young only scopes like the 200 inch Hale could take film images anywhere near as good.
Scott
a fantastic Carina with very interesting details. Great!

Cheers Werner and Scotty
Yes, think of the great Jupiter and Saturn shots done with the 200" back in the photographic plate days too and compare them with those by Damian Peach today and even Trevor, John and Paul on this forum seeing dodging imaging has thrown the solar system right open.
Great picture Mike, but it's not HH666 in the square shown. You do have HH666, but it's lower down in your pic. The thumbnail shows a Hubble pic of HH666. See here for confirmation http://iopscience.iop.org/1538-3881/...127_5_2793.pdf
I haven't been able to identify what you've shown. It just comes up with informative stuff like "nebula in Carina" when I search Hubble pics.

Well, that was out'a the blue ...buuuut you are quite right Geoff, I have in fact actually showcased HH901 and HH902
I'll fix that asap, thanks for bringing it to my attention
