lovely FOV & nicely framed Fay. What's it look like if you push it harder in processing - looks to me like there is a lot more to bring out....?

Fay

thanks Phil. i am having a bad patch with my images. have done a few but all not too good, either because of composition, or clouds  or too feint a subject. i will have another go at processing this one though

Had a go at reprocessing your image hope you don't mind, look's like you have some ghosting on the image top left hand corner.

I wish I had some bad patches, and produced sub-standard images like this.  :o

Keep up this bad work Fay...................and I love the MONO. :D

you are all too kind. just set up in the snow (dedicated) fixed the QSI to the WO ZS66, to test focus tonight. first going to redo Rosette see if i can process better.

looks clear tonight, but that moon is very prominent.

It's already -2c here today already!

The Thing

-1C here and dropping fast. I might have a go at imaging Mars with the webcam given the state of the moon tonight.
