A nice image Dave. Bob.

Thank you for the reply MarkAR,. Yes it does have some strange angles to it. Bob.

Thanks for your nice comment Craney. Bob.

Hi every one, this pic it's just under nine hours total in 300s subs. I have been processing this until my head is mashed. Can not seem to get it any better ,so here it is. Thanks for looking, Bob.

Hi, just managed an hour on SN2020jpo in M61 before moving to my main target last night 11/5/20. OOUK ODK12." ..A A 294C Protec OSC Camera...Ioptron Cem120EC...12x300s. Thanks for looking, Bob.

That will keep you all excited and plenty to think about John. I am in and out of mine on and off most days, tinkering as the missus says. Also it's a great feeling knowing you haven't got to set up each time . It's no problem if clouds come, just park mount switch off and roll my roof back again. Best thing i ever did was making my obs. Hope everything goes well and good luck with it John. Bob.

The tidal tail is showing well in this image Dave, well done. Bob.

Cracking images again John. Bob.

Hi Geof, thank you for your nice comments and advice on my pic, it is all very helpful. Bob.

Hi Bryan, thanks for looking and having a play with my image.I can see that you have managed to rid more of the noise and smooth it out more. I will have a look at that software, I have a lot to learn. Thanks once again for your input on this, it all helps. Bob.

Hi x6gas, thank you for your comments on my pic. To process the data i used APP to stack and do some processing, then final adjustments in Photoshop. I must add that i have only had APP recently and just used default settings. And that my processing skills are limited, finding it all hard to understand with my old head. As for tracking and tilt, i don't realy know. The imaging was done over three nights from the 19th, with two that where windy with gusts up to 23mph at times. PHD 2 says that i have some backlash in deck. Bob.

Hi Mark, nice to here from you and i hope you are keeping well.Thanks for your kind comment ,it gives me incentive mate .Hope to see you and John at the next show when all is well. Take care, Bob.

Hi all, my 1st attempt at this galaxy, just over 12 hrs imaging time in 300s subs. I still have a lot to learn though.[This old head is slow]. OOUK ODK12"...A A 294C Protec OSC... Ioptron Cem120ec..Thanks for looking, Bob.

A great image this is Geof ,and great processing very well don. Bob.

Sorry forgot to put the date imaged.,25/4/20.

Hi, T2 seems to be holding up quite well so decided to image it again, I first imaged this comet back in January,it seems to have been around for ages now.[1st time this month I think, as Y4 Atlas has more or less gone now]. This pic is 6x120s taken with my ODK setup. OOUK ODK12.. .A A 294C Protec OSC. Ioptron Cem120ec. Thanks for looking . Bob.

A cracking image ,lovely colors and processing. Bob.

Hi every one, weather has cut me short of data now for this target, so decided to see what I have on it for now and process . 4hrs 45min in 300s subs. I realise I will need a lot more data to bring out the faint outer ring of this Galaxy. Thanks for looking, OOUK ODK12" A A 294C Pro Tec OSC IOPTRON Cem 120 EC. Bob.

Hi Olly, I have flipped the image 90 CCW and this is the result. I do think it looks a better pic now thanks. Thanks for looking , Bob.

Thank you Olly for your reply. have taken it on board. Don't no if i can do it though i have a lot to learn. Bob.

Just seen my mistake, me and me fat fingers i didn,t notice that it say's M196 instead of M106. Me old age i think tryin to rush things and not checking properly Bob.

Hi all, finaly got what I think is enough for now on this object, thanks to the last three nights. Seeing conditions different on each night .Managed to get 137x 300s subs out of four imaging runs that I thought were usable. Processing was done with APP and Photoshop, my skills are limited with my old eyes. Thanks for looking. Bob.

Well done Dave ,can see the tail in first pic on my monitor, it is faint though. Bob.

Hi, my latest image of this comet from the evening of 11/4/20. Better conditions than when I last imaged it. I do hope it stays around for a while yet. OO ODK 12.... A A 294C Protec... Ioptron Cem 120ec . Thanks for looking, Bob.

Hi Francis, thanks for the reply.it 4 x 120s stacked if i remember right.
