The weather has been against a proper run for a while now, so this is lacking in subs. Only comprising 5 @ 20 mins and 5 @ 3 mins

Maybe a lack of subs Martin but I wouldn't have guessed . A great shot. Trevor

[Beyond_Vision]

Absolutely extraordinary image Martin, I can't wait to see it finished.

Finished! Finished? As far as I'm concerned it is! I have to jump through hoops to get this one. Wait an age for it to clear the eastern wall of the obs, Image for 3/4 hour, wait for it to pass neighbours tree, image for another 1/2 hour to meridian, then flip, then wait for cloud to go away!

Those 5 subs took a week to collect!

[martin_h]

I found a bit of colour data...

[fwm891]

Love the face that's coming out in the nebula to the top right...

[sulaco]

They are brilliant images, it works for me in the both. It wouldn't look out of place in a gallery

[Ibbo!]

Very nice Martin

Mmmmmmm have got me thinking about using the ED as an imaging scope not just a guider

Very tasty, this is on my to-do list

Any chance of resolving the trapezium? Some 60s subs would do that nicely

Yeah that caught me out, I'm used to Ha targets being a bit dim...I did some 3 min ones and they were still bright. The 3 min ones are in the core already!

If it stays clear tonight I'll bang a few off.

Darned impressive and, in Ha terms, not a terribly long total exposure (even if you have failed to dynamite certain obstructions out of the way!)

Have you really got all you can out of your Trapezium data in the 3 minute subs? I would suspect that a short stretch layered in would bring a bit more.

I'm looking right now at my 7 hour run at F3.9 and, quite honestly, feeling a bit embarrassed because I'm not sure how much more I have to show for it than you are presenting here...

Ahh but I bet you havn't got half as much noise reduction piled in as I have....you wouldn't want to see it at full resolution !!!

[DugDog]

Looks very good. You really captured some nice dust on the outer edges. Congrats!

[Catanonia]

Great image there Martin and loads of detail in the ha for such limited subs.

Can't wait till you get the colour proper into it.

[martin_h]

Ok I've had a tweek at the core again...I can see 4 stars, I hope you can too...........

[Penfold]

Excellent stuff, good job on the re-work, much more definition now.
