I have the same stuff and it's lovely underfoot. Even better, if you drop something, it bounces! Remember to leave a good space around the edges, though, or it will ruck up in warmer weather.

Thanks very much. It's a galaxy that has much to offer!

Yes, very impressive detail indeed! It's lacking in colour, though. You should try pushing the colour layer harder - I would think that it's either too faint in comparison to the L, or it needs a saturation boost?

I posted this in an imaging challenge, but thought I'd post here too if that's okay? Having started capturing data for this in Feb, I was beginning to think I'd never finish it with the awful weather of the last 2 months. However, last week finally yielded some clear nights so I've eventually managed to cobble enough together for an image. I tried not to push the processing too far and kept it simple, but I'm not sure how well I've combined the colour together.

A bit of a smash-and-grab at the end of a session. I'm still not used to processing/combining RGB images, so I really just bodged this together with minimal processing. SW MN190 Atik 460ex L: 18x400s RGB: 3x2x400s

Awesome, very strong colour and detail. This may sound silly, but it feels very physically present in your image, rather than the fuzzy spectre that most galaxies are. (yep, that does sound silly).

Fantastic image. You've really brought that IFN to life with all that data. Lots of little fuzzies to pick out, too!

I'll certainly add it to the list. Who knows, it may even happen!

That's great! I'll be sure to point users in the direction of your app when I get asked for an iOS version Generous of you - and very good news - about the new server; I usually have to respond to a lot of emails whenever the old one goes down. I think my app is long overdue an update, so I think I'll do some work on it before publishing the update.

An unfamiliar object and fantastic image; great work both of you!

Spectacular - this one's gonna be hard to beat!

I'd be interested in the results - I remember finding a similar transient "star" that came and went between subs a few years ago and have always wondered what it was.

A very nice little solution! Although, the birds might think it's for them

I think many of you may already know this, but planet means "wanderer" from the Greek planētai, as they appear to be stars that wander around the sky.
