ok, now you're showing off.

Are there any planets around them stars?  ;)

Can you send me the original fits? I think these should be put on google sky...

Paul,

That's beautiful & so many faint fuzzies... a great image - what are the exposure details on this? Dunno what you did but I think it's one of your best images - you should take them all like this...

Cheers,  John

Nice one Paul. The core looks slightly overcooked to me, but still a great image. Looks like you've finally got that guiding sorted out.

60 minutes total, ten minute subs.

The core was more stella on the origional, I have started to get the hang of getting the faint stuff out, The stars aren't clipped but I need to look at extending the histogram at the high end so you can still see the core.

Great detail. I love that twist in the dust ring.

Great images Paul,

I wish I could overcook my images like that, I'd be well happy.
(How is it that I'm not this enthustastic when Flis overcooks something.) :(

Images like this should be coming in thick and thin now, (in your own little wilderness and patch of dark sky) so keep them coming.

Did you know that the area above Paul's garden has it's own weather system.
