Hi everyone. Super dry northerlies last night and a dew point near zero. Kid-in-sweet-shop syndrome struck, but not before 2 hours on The Crab. Must admit to being disappointed not to get any of the red which surrounds as can be seen on other snaps. Perhaps my camera isn't sensitive enough, oh and it's too pink. Any pointers, especially the red bits most gratefully received.

Thanks for looking and clear skies.

From Alicante, ¡Feliz Navidad!

I am very jealous of how many cloudless nights you get. ?

Needs a bit more focal length and more Ha to really show, otherwise it is nice.

Yeah, if only. I despair. I'm already at 1200mm and still it's just a blob in the middle of nowhere. On my rusty old eq6, I think I've reached the limit:(

"My rusty old eq6" ?

You should try my eq3, that thing has given me so much grief..

But I'm honestly surprised that you are at 1200mm and still it's so small.

And at 500mm it’s positively miniscule!

You could crop it! What's your resolution (arcsecs/pixel)?

Nice idea, but it makes it look like it's from 'Sky-and-Telescope-Taken-with-a-c8-', 1993!

Would be fun to drizzle integrate it and then crop it maybe..?

[Thalestris24]

More data is always good

I drizzled it using a DSS custom rectangle; as you can see, not enough snaps.
