  1. Wow, that's really nice. Not seen this before but I guess, being a summer object, it's tough to get many hours on it.
  2. That sounds excellent by UK standards - my skies are decent but, being 5 miles outside Preston, I only get >SQM20 on the odd, very good night 👍
  3. Cheers Geof. There's actually an RGB version of it on David Ratledge's excellent imaging blog (scroll down to Feb 2nd) - I think it does show though that Ha is needed to bring out the detail. http://www.deep-sky.co.uk/blogspot/2014archive/archive2014.htm Would be interested to see what your extra FL/aperture could bring out - you probably have better skies in Norfolk than up here as well!
  4. Cheers. I was quite surprised how few versions of this are about. It's in an area of the sky which means you can have a good 10 hour run on it in a single night at this time of year.
  5. I often struggle with how much noise reduction to apply to images (usually over-do it), so I'd be interested to hear if people prefer this version with a bit more NR - thanks...
  6. Hi, This little planetary nebula is between Camelopardalis and Cassiopeia. I don't think it is often captured on it's own - it's occasionally seen in the corner of a widefield with HFG1, but my FOV has no chance of getting both together! It's very faint and I wondered at first whether I was wasting my time, but the recent good skies allowed me to get >20hrs on it and bring out some detail, especially in the Ha. Taken with a standard C9.25 SCT (reduced down to approx F6), on an EQ8. Atik 414 EX Mono. There were 16 x 30min OIII and 25 x 30min Ha subs, giving 20.5hrs in total.
  7. There's plenty of photos of it on Astrobin, but yes, you wouldn't have it down as one of the most photogenic targets: https://www.astrobin.com/search/?q=6822
  8. Clear Outside is a great app and worked seamlessly for me until the very moment I "upgraded" to Android 6.0. Ever since then the scrolling has become so laggy that the app is more or less unusable. From reading reviews on the Play Store it seems there are many recent reports of this, although no-one else has mentioned Marshmallow as being the cause as far as I could see. Is this a known issue? I have cleared my cache by the way, which improved a similar lag with Chrome but has made little or no difference to Clear Outside.
