first light RCOS12.5 /STL11

I did some tweaks to my RCOS 12.5 inch and this is the first time I have imaged beyond a rough test with it and the STL11000CM.

The Running Man Nebula, 50 minutes (5 x 10mins) suburban Sydney.

RCOS 12.5 ST2000XM. I reprocessed this one as it had potential that was missed in the original processing. Its amazing how much there is to learn in this hobby!

Comet Mc Naught

Posted By Greg Bradley

I finally got a chance to image this beauty.

It has faded a lot since 6 days ago (when I first saw it visually) but it is still a naked eye object after sunset.

Modified Canon 20D, 14 x 30 seconds (I think it was 30, it may have been 20 secs).

Canon Digital Professional software, Images Plus, Photoshop CS2.

Outside a vegetables paddock (with lots of mosquitoes!) at Schofields NSW Australia (very near Sydney).

Here is an extract from my recent Rho Ophiuchi image. This is the blue nebula section that seems to show a star cloud behind the nebula.
