Rosette Ha

[Astroscot2]

Hello all

Its been a Looong time since ive taken and posted any images. Got a break last Monday and as the moon looked to be a problem went for this bright Ha target.

First time using my lightbox which seems to have worked well with the calibration.

Image is 18 x 10 mins (3hrs) through the TAk FSQ and starlight SXVFH35, Astronomik 2" Ha filter.

Hope to get G & B for a colour image next moon free night.

Image does not shirnk down well for posting bettwe quality here

Absolutely outstanding Mark. The Crop image is mind blowing.

Those skies up there must be something else mate.

When I get myself organised, I will need to pay a visit. I used to travel to Whithorn on a 3 month basis, to calibrate a Gas Analyser in a MOT garage there. I always enjoyed the journey up there.

(Now i'm wondering if I sell all my current telescopes, guns, woodworking machines, hot tub and children, whether I might be able to afford a second hand Tak..................)

[narrowbandpaul]

have you seen the price list for new ones...

they have added like £2000 in some cases

i would still bu one in a heartbeat, if i had the cash. which I dont

[Tim]

We should get together and break into the factory, a well worked out astro-heist. It'd work a treat until we all posted our images.........

Of course, everything else has to be equal, and Mark has produced a stunner here.
