Stunning.. love it

Kevin, how do you find the WO TMB field flatness? I have the TMB one on test, but it's expensive..

[cloudbuster]

That's a beaut!....puts my effort to shame!

Thanks all for your very nice comments.

It's a way better match to the scope than the Televue TRF2008 I was using. I am getting pin point stars to the edges now and there is no false colour introduced by it. I had to get an adapter from Starlight Instruments for my 3.5" focuser this cost £99 pounds which was a bit steep but I got the flattener for £100 off of book price. So £300 all in which is a sight cheaper than the £900 for the official one.

One of my favourites. Doesn't appear over processed and feels so real.

I'd run through the streets screaming if I achieved that! lol Or at least have it framed.

Beautiful stuff.

That's a cracker Kevin, really brings out the essence of Andromeda

[planetdnb]

Hi Kev,

A real gem to be proud of. And as no one else has mentioned it, a fine M110. You have captured the odd shape of the outer star layer. Not often done.

Dave.

[Beyond_Vision]

Thanks again for the great comments.

The detail is just showing in M110, Dave. I'm hoping to get it framed better next time and add some Ha. Just wish this gloop over the UK would disappear

Thank you Mike but what did you think of the reworked version?

Hi Kevin,

After my measly attempts I am hardly one to make critical observation, but I like the reworked one better. The framing is more pleasing to the eye and gives the galaxy a stronger feel of motion. The background brings the galaxy out better in the revised version.

But I like the dust lanes on this earlier version more as they appear (to me at least) to be slightly more clearly defined.

[CharmQuark]

Awesome!!!!!

[russ]

Absolutely stunning Kevin!!!!! The colour and detail are breathtaking. Awesome work!

[Beyond_Vision]

Thank you Russ and CharmQuark
