That is just FANTASTIC - wonderful and beautiful That really is something to aspire to

I presume you used the 250 Newt - I don't think I could get one of those in my shed, big as it seemed when I built it.

Thanks for the very kind comments guys.

Yes it was the 250, mine sits in a 8ft x8ft just nicely.

Looking forward to it already Rob.

How much data do you have, lost of Ha I trust.

Mike.

[Hypernova]

That is incredible

So was that taken with the SW f4.8 that is in your sig or something else? I hope that at some point in the future, when I have an imaging rig of my very own, that I will be able to take pictures like

[MikeD]

Yes, it was taken with my Skywatcher 250 PX f4.8 newt.

Actually, not that much Mike....I have plenty of luminance, and a fair bit of RGB, plus last years RGB too, but Ha needs adding to. I was going to try some tonight, but there's too much moon for my 35nm filter, plus I've been fighting one of those non specific flu type viruses since the weekend, so it'll have to wait for a while
