Rog , was this excellent image taken with the Atik 16HR ?

Its taking me a bit of an effort to get the best from this camera , need to try longer subs.

Sorry John , yes it was mate ,the camera performs well even at 45 sec subs before i guided i had good results , a lot does depend on processing John, the camera will do the work for you , i had alot of practise using lower cost camera,s , where i had to learn the best ways of getting the data out of it, it will come in time , and anyway you are getting some pretty good results

Absolutely first class Rog. You should have had that one handy for Sir Patrick, I am sure he would have been impressed with that.

NIce Rog, the stars are very sharp and the nebula very clear............

You said it was likely to be a 'goodun' once you'd processed it, and it most certainly is. Very nice indeed!!

So glad I managed to covert you to guiding and unbinned images.

Keep up the good work Rog 8)

I've been nagging him for months Dave! Colour next then Rog!!! Seriously though, that is a marvellous image, very delicate and gossamer like with perfect little stars.
