    Nowt wrong with that!
  2. Wowsers - that's a new one on me and a beautiful little PN. You've done exceptionally well with 4 hours data...
  3. Lovely image - particularly the starfield. Many would suggest capturing more luminance than RGB but your results speak for themselves. I do wonder if the data would show a bit more detail in the core if you adopted an HDR approach and masked through a less stretched version?
  4. Lovely image and as said not easy with it being so low....

    That's gonna be a real corker Steve!
  6. Encouraged by the Masteclass articles in Astronomy Now and Nik's StarGaZine talk I'm also trying Affinity Photo, by the way. There are a couple of stumbling blocks (for example it seems that sample points only report the values for a single pixel and not an average of a number of pixels) but it does seem very capable.
  7. When I first looked at this I thought the crescent is just a bit too garish but as I looked at it a bit longer I changed my mind. Lovely picture and a wonderful field of view.
  8. I agree, that's beautiful. You've suffered for your art but this is worth the mozzy bites!
  9. Looks like a cut in the fabric of space!
  10. Nice capture of a wonderful object - congrats.
  11. Very promising... must be frustrating with the short nights and turn in the weather!
  12. That's a very nice capture - well done.
  13. Excellent image and good to read the progress you've made on your cooling solution.

    Lovely image Steve.
  15. Oh no - I'm so sorry! I've robbed you that pleasure of opening the mag and seeing your own image peering back at you. Should have put a spoiler alert!
  16. Both renditions are absolutely excellent... The first version doesn't look over-sharpened to me in all honesty but I think I do have a slight preference for the second...
  17. That bodes very well... congrats on your new purchase - a used 10micron... I thought those were in the realm of hens' teeth and rocking-horse dung!
  18. A really nice set of beautifully processed images Martin. I agree with Steve that your M13 looks particularly stunning... Congratulations also on getting Picture of the Month in the July edition of Astronomy Now with your rendition of Simeis 147. That's a very special image and it's great to see it getting the recognition it deserves.
  19. Thanks Steve, thanks Ciaran... I'm really delighted with, and appreciative of, all of the positive comments - thank you so much! Having been away from the hobby for a bit I've had to re-learn an awful lot and, as a new user of PixInsight, learn that for the first time. I'm feeling that my processing is just about getting back to where it was before work got in the way so these comments are really helpful in confirming that I'm heading in the right direction. Thanks again! Ian
  20. Yes that makes sense or can align the finder to the tube by centring on the moon.
  21. That's shame... that would have been the only galaxy named after him... it would have been Han's solo. I'll get my coat...
