Crescent nebula close in

[Kaptain Klevtsov]

One of tonight's efforts, the first to be processed.

As usual, click for a bigger one.

Got to pop outside again to make sure its not raining like the forecast said it would.

Very nice CC.

Not familiar with the crescent nebula myself, but there is a fair amount of fine detail. Great spikes and focus. Tracking looks damn good as well.

You must be chuffed with that one?

Never heard of the Crescent Nebula, but it certainly lives up to its name.

Now I never thought I'd see the day that I'd get such a comment off Rog. Not that he's not forthcoming with his compliments, but that I never expected to be able to do such an image. What a thrill to see the cloudless sky, to have the batteries charged, the K3CCD work first go and get the focus to work. Its been one of those nights where stuff does as its told without having to be shouted at.

Thanks guys and girls for your comments, I have treated myself to a beer or three, but the promised rain still hasn't arrived. I may have to go out again.

The recent discussions about gain settings and gamma settings have helped tremendously with making the thing work, so its you guys who are to blame for this image being good, I just buy the gear, press the buttons and drink beer while it does its stuff.

I'd be glad to take the beer drinking off your plate, if you'd like. Free up another hand for ya, pal.
