From a few weeks ago.

Modified Canon 20D and Tak FSQ106N on a Tak NJP mount.
20 x 2 minutes, 5 x 10 seconds for the core.

Took me all night to process this one.

Greg.

Greg,

The Orion looks really nice. Looks like you went pretty deep - your short exposure must have really helped on the core.

The reprosessed Omega came out well too.

Greg,

Very nice image. The all nighter paid off. Did you guide that or just let the NJP do what it does best? What did you use for the processing?

Greg a very beautiful shot of the nebs ! If I am to give an honest opinion I can see again that the shadows end is clipped which spoils the backgraound.
