Very nice indeed and, as Alan says, subtle. I do think it could stand a little more colour intesity but not by bosting saturation. That's a noise monster.

Olly

I might try 240 secs when Mr B is out of the way, thats what killed the first run of rgb subs.

My colouring skills are not great as I tend not to stick in the lines.

I am sure it will be visible - above the clouds.

As you say some days it is not written in the stars.

Thanks,I think I just about got away with it with the Ha but the cak is well...

Not so much skill but the kit,software and practice - lots of lovely practice.

Thanks Martin.

And this is why I don't do solar in that direction as the seeing is always poor.

Nice work Steve on a rarely imaged target.  I've certainly never done it.  Are you going to add in some OIII?

Thanks Martin, I'm not sure abut O3, it might quieten the vivid red a bit though.

Lots of nice detail Steve. Despite the parking problems.

 

I've forgotten what the sun looks like. 😭

Thanks.

I know that feeling nothing for 2 weeks then like buses 2 in 3 days 😀

Hi Pete I think we saw the same images, B5 here and with the RC200mm and I got a big fat nothing.

Good luck with your journey on this object.

EDIT

I tell a lie it is there but it is vey faint and as you say big maybe I will try with some binning and better weather conditions.

Thanks Neil.

Have you any clear skies to share as well 😀

Now I am feeling much better after my battle with flu I might get the motivation to get the C11 out again.

I think the fastest I have gone is about 245fps with the QHY5111 462 and following your discussions will see if I can get a faster rate, what sort gain are you using?

This was started back in early Oct.
