    I think I knew what to expect when I opened the thread! M27 has, I think, been put to bed for at least a decade...  Beautiful.

    No green?

    Thank you Olly....It's always a difficult choice between going green or blue with M27. My very first attempt back in the OSC MX5 days gave me a blue tone which I think I prefer. Plus the subtle purples generated by the mixing of  blues and reds I feel give it a nicer tone than with the Green and reds which tend to go brown.

    I agree Peter. The 180ED is spendy but also large for someone who setups without a permanent pier.  Collimation straightforward and bomb-proof I found on the 130D. 160ED teasing me now that it will be available in September....but the size of the 130D was a sweet spot. And some have used it very effectively with the full frame 2400MC with 6um pixels, a great widefield rig.

    This is a 6200 full frame and gives pretty good correction with the small pixels...I have a 180 with the 2400mcpro and that is so perfectly matched its brilliant....and it has a set of Dual band filters which are so good, I'm getting almost as good results as if it was mono (theres an argument to have lol)

    Another cracking image Peter! One more for me to have a crack at, not expecting anywhere near this result though!

    That is a stunning image Peter.  The dust over the nebulosity gives it such a three dimensional feel.

    Thanks everyone for the comments

    Like it  punchy and deep with sheen. I miss my e130D, sob sob

    Thank you....Its a super little scope and personally I think underrated because of its smaller aperture than the 180 and 160

    The hallmark quality across the board. This is also great in widefield.

    Olly

    Thank you Olly....if I'm honest I think better in a  wider field

    That's a really super image Peter. Well worth browsing on the full res image.

    Thanks ....the amount of tiny galaxies hanging about when you start to look closely is incredible
