Just got back its a nice event met lots of folk very friendly loads to talk about...had a great time will go next year
-
oozing quality...such a tight and crisp image
-
Lovely job on this.... I like the framing on this with those smaller galaxies very nicely placed.
-
The dark dust lane is coming through nicely. As you say more subs will improve on that and even show the blue reflection around the outer edges......really nice shot there
-
thank you Paddy, Paul...cant wait for some longer darker nights
-
a real stunner....I've yet to use my A7s on my scope...think I might give it a go after seeing this
-
welcome to the forum

Thank you Rodd, Yep had to wait a few times before. Very difficult to know how to process the blacks as everyone's monitors are calibrated differently

Fingers crossed you get the clear skies on those dates. I do get good views of Antares from here and have thought about trying it. But with its fleeting fly-by across the horizon I've always thought about going to a better location to image it....never got around to it. Your image has really made think hard about giving it a go from here. It would be interesting to do an overlay from an image from further South and compare how much atmospheric refraction you have in yours. Peter

For some reason I had this in my head it was imaged outside the UK. This makes it even more remarkable, a superb achievement from your location. How long is it image-able (if that's even a word) for you during an evening?

Yeah I know anything after a tweak or clean I tend to call a 'test' image.....I've spent some time designing a modified Dall Kirkham. It will be a 250mm, carbon truss design fully corrected across a 50mm field. Ill let you know how it goes.

great scale super shot
-
nice to see it all in one shot. Lovely image

No Not at all they were just grubby....just me being over the top...they really only needed a wash but I ended up having them coated while they were out the scope.... all that time left out in the observatory with high humidity I would periodically run the dehumidifier but not often enough it would seem.

one of my favourite parts of the sky....looking good
