Superb! Still too blue stars in the background, but your balance gives the nebula fantastic colors, very natural.

Thanks for the comment !

Thanks for the info!

WOOOW! After looking your setup online. I think you have spent almost or more than $20K... That is a heck of a professional setup. That is why no doubt the images are so nice.

Yes - I have spent quite a bit.... However, I started with something a little cheaper - a SW ED 80 Pro + NEQ6 mount + SX M26C camera with an ST80 for a guide scope and a Lodestar X2 guide camera. Although I decided to go straight into guiding I decided to simplify my entry to astrophography by initially going for colour camera.

Hi Alan,

I am new to this forum and I am at the stage of exploring Astronomy. If you don't mind me asking, what kind of Telescope you are using and setup?

Thanks!

Hello !

At the moment I'm using a SW Esprit 150 on a 10micron GM1000HPS with a SX Trius 814 camera - all controlled by ACP Expert - have a look in my gallery in the album "Automated Observatory" and you'll see some pictures of my set up.
