Thats really good Mick. I've always wanted to capture the dust around those stars. You must be chuffed!
Well, Mick, you are wrong, that is indeed stunning, I am really pleased for you that the first image you have posted is so good!!!!!!You have processed it well & have a lot of nebulosity even with those short subs. You could just crop the edges a bit
Thats really nice, well done.
Chris
Thanks for the comments
Yep I am chuffed and I agree it needs cropping - tried to do that on the Gallery but I "don't have permissions" :o
The urge for guiding is now stirring in my loins wallet
Excellent image Mick, and as Fay has said a great first image posting. (I'd be pleased with that, even if it was out of focus)
So the ploy is to get everyone drunk on polski s*&t and then perfect the art of imaging. :roll: Very cunning plan. ;)

Lovely Mick
very good capture.
Nice to have dark skies isnt it. ;)
Well done Mick - that is an excellent first image. You must be delighted with that. All the hard work is finally paying off. It looks really good for an unguided image.
BTW - thanks for the Absinthe - but I don't think I'll drink it again before imaging!

Image of the month mate?
Nice image Mick. Plenty of wispy stuff there and good focus. Well done !
Thanks again for the comments - I'm well pleased with this one
Here's a reprocess - Any better ?

Mick you are doing so well!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well done Mick, just think what you're guided images are going to look like if you can get that unguided.
