Ventured outside last night. Sky not that good. I could only manage 8x600 before it went into the trees, so bit noisy

8x600 QSI 583ws/SW 120, 5nm Ha, SW 120 0.85 FR.

even the faint nebulocity is starting to show through.

Nice capture, Fay, especially in a "not so good" sky

Thanks, I thought I would have a bit more time, but what with next door's trees as well

Very nice Fay, I can't get that from my garden it's too low behind trees.

Hire Station have got a special deal on at the moment for Chain-saws.  :twisted:

That should improve everyone's imaging of this object.  ;)

Really nice image Fay. Looks almost 3D.

Fay, you should be over the moon not moaning about trees being in the way! What a super image. Somehow mono does this justice.

Thanks Duncan, I was planning over double of those subs, & thought I had wasted my time with only 8!

Lovely image Fay, and sorry for not mentioning it further up this post, due to me being flippant again. :oops:

They produced a snippet of this image on APOD on Sunday, which I thought was one of yours, as it had something to do with Hubble.  ;)

Fay - that is really good - expertly framed & expertly processed - especially for such a relatively short exposure.

How is the QSI - is it behaving itself now?

Cheers,  John

Fay

Thanks John. Well, I have only been outside once, since it came back, it was ok. I will keep an  eye on it & if I get a black sub with 0 ADU, I will save it & show Ian King.
