Taken at the Orpington AS Deep Sky Camp at Woodlands.  This is a stack of a single 20min and a 6min sub (26min total) taken with the SXV-H9 Camera, Astronomik 13nm Ha filter and Sky90 Refractor@f/4.5 just before light stopped play.

The noise from this camera seems to be much lower now the USB Hub has some power getting to it though I can't quite work out why that would be !

That is absolutely stunning. You're best yet Robert.

That is nice Robert for such short exposure.

Just need another 31 subs now :-)

That is good, well done Robert.

Is it me, or does that look like a clockwork chicken in the middle  :)

Very nice Robert.

But you've got some serious competition from Mac   :D

    A wonderful image.  I believe the "clockwork chicken" are the "pillars of creation", or have I got it wrong again??
Always look on the bright side of life ...

This is me being stupid now.  When I first read the title of your "post", I thought woodland eagle meant you had been doing a bit of bird watching and was wondering what eagle I was going to see when I opened up.

Doh!!

This is the trouble with me also being a bird watcher.

Fab image btw.

Yep, he should get really good images when he has his guiding/flex nailed, that scope looks like a winner.

Doug, you can call it what you like, why not - the Americans do !

Chris - yes I know another 30 subs of 20mins and it will be finished  :o

Carole - you've been twitching too much, maybe it was the thought of seeing a Clockwork Chicken ;)
