Hello All

A few more images I finished over the weekend.  The Sun images were taken testing a new camera - so are work in progress.  Sh2-73 is a (faint) bright nebula in Hercules.  Acquiring it after midnight helped capture quite a lot of the dust despite the short overall exposure.  Details at the links below.
Thanks

Thank you Carole!

I managed to squeeze another solar image today midday to test the new camera.  Not the best of seeing but the fast frame rate is very forgiving for the post-processing.

Very nice images Roberto and the new camera seems to be working well with Solar.

Best wishes

W/R Sh 73 - very good Roberto; a tricky item to photograph!  - I thought for a second there were some elongated stars so got my magnifier out - they were galaxies. 
Very nice.

Thank you Noel.  There are some elongated stars...but most are galaxies  ;)  :lol:

I love that one of Sh2-73.  Just a patch of dust in the middle of nowhere!
