I had horrible weather for imaging, clouds, then wind, then rain, then more clouds, more wind, well you get the picture. Out of 4 nights and 50 hours of darkness I was able to get a grand total of 6 hours of data spread over 2 images. Of course now that I am home and back to work the weather is perfect.

Vince,
Well, you managed to find your windows and get some great results. Great images of some interesting targets.

Nice work Vincent,
Portions of Barnards loop appear to have a 3D effect.

Lovely widefield images.

Hae you had any trouble with your Baader 7nm Ha when stacking images and getting largish irregularly shaped black specks in
your images?

Mine does.

Vince,
Really nice images!

I am thinking of doing an image similar to your cropped version of LDN 1622. Your image is a nice reference for me to shoot for.
