Running Man Nebula 10 frames @ 20 sec ED80, Atik 2hs and 0.5 Reducer Blustery but clear night, could only manage short subs as the wind was causing problems.. Saying that it's my best running man to date.. Martin..

A quick m42 Finaly got a clear night, but 50mph winds did'nt help much hence the short subs.. ED80, Atik 2hs used 10 frames @ 15sec Martin...

The Barlow that i use is a x3 Tal Barlow (#452) Cost £35.00 from Sherwood's i have had some excellent results with it especially with Jupiter...but i suppose a more expensive one will get a slightly crisper image.. Martin

I missed this object last time the old star hopping let me down, so i thought i would have another go just to see if i could find it although Rog will do me about HA Filters lol sorry Rog i know your right old mate will get one soon You can just make out the cone centre just lol... Shame about the blob on the ccd had that on all my shots last night Anyway here it is Martin

Good attempt Rog, difficult conditions although i had the best night for ages last night just i had the focus slightly off and should have used 2X Barlow and not 3 X, the seeing was perfect saturn was so still i had to keep checking the computer hadn't crashed Martin..

My First Saturn since may last year.. Helios 8ins F5 Reflector, atik 1-c, neodymium filter, ir block filter and 3 X Barlow There's two images taken with slightly different settings although i think the focus was just a bit out.. Still I'm happy with result Martin

Horse Head done with a skywatcher 102 s/t, atk2hs neodymium filter and ir block filter. Excellent night very clear as this image shows lots more detail compared to one i did a few nights ago... Had to crop the image as there was a dark blemish on the lower part of the shot Still no HA Filter Used Martin.. Spent a little more time with photoshop hope you like it
