2 Nebulas from last night with all my new kit working (Mosiac added work in progress)

Mum - of course I don't mind I would be flattered :D

Keith - not quite millions of pounds but if you add it all up it is a bit :mental: like any hobby :lol:

These two actually sit right next to each other the pelican on the right some of the stars are on both pics but trying to do a mosaic would be :mental:

Nut the individual subframes look pretty much like the finished product and I shoot in L (curve) not in RAW each photo is just a little noisier than the combined effect of them all - then this 'sandwich' of 20 photos has bias frames subtracted as well as dark frames of equal length with the lens cap on this removes all the hot pixels and noise from the sensor getting hot with such long exposures. In order to 'see' these you would need a dark site and quite a big scope.

:yes: you can Lozzy :lol: as you are so close we really ought to get around to that meet up to have a look sometime :D

So pretty and will be saving the second one as well. A great desktop picture.

That would be great, trouble is picking the right evening so we have a clear sky.

Yes that is rather a challenge - I shall try and work something out

Fab...:bouncing:

Hmmm just looked at these on my iPhone and they look dark and horrible. That is the problem with digital photography so much of it depends on monitor settings :(

Great shots Chris.
Hopefully one day I`ll be able to do something approaching that.:wink:

Spectacular Chris! :thumbsup:

Now take some of these magnificent shots of yours, import them into iMovie, add some transitions, some titles, a lovely sound track (preferably not Also sprach Zarathustra), post them on YouTube and show us whatcha got!
