UNCANNY! :-?
It looks like the full moon Tony!!!!!
APOD is SLIGHTLY better quality than mine!!! :lol:
That's really lovely Fay, especially considering the full moon.
My only comment would be that there are perhaps a few too many haloes.
Robert
Yes , the haloes are bad. Prompted me to get a Baader 7nm filter, which arrived today
Wow, Fay, that's really not one to be doing on a full moon, very faint indeed!
You've resolved the nebulosity wonderfully, Haloes are a little strong, but then Gamma Cassiopeiae is a really bright star, so managing it is a nightmare, reminds me of imaging near Alnitak.

:O)
Always good to have a practise. Although it is best to do ha under a full moon, you can still see the quality is not quite there, other thans Roberts wide field :)

I see Ian King is charging £115 for that filter when you can get it for about £30 less elsewhere.
Got it from Bern, I think £96

Ian King just likes charging more...............for anything!

£96 is the going rate, if you order from First Light Optics then you'd most likely have got a 10% discount for SGL membership...
