Hi guy's

Well It's been a while since I collected any new data on my chip, so I thought the heck with It! and took off up to Coonabarabran for a couple of days.
This is one of the shots I got, a first for me at the Rossette .
Exposures were 20min x 5 captured through the ZS 66SD/.8 reducer with the SXV-H9C and guided with the WOZS 110 on a G11 mount.
The skies were at least mag 7 and the seeing was 6-7/10 and I highly recommend this spot for any visiting northeners.
For those of you that don't know of this place that's where the AAT 3.9m telescope is and which was only about 10 minute drive from where I stayed.
These giant telescopes are an awesome sight 8O !

Louie,
Great pic! I like the star colors and the natural look of the Rosette. Nice to see this object in full visable spectrum exposures.

Nice to hear about the site. Did you get a chance for a tour inside the AAT observatory?

Very pretty shot Louie. I like the star colours. Going to Coonabarabran is on my list of things to do.
