Here is my version of the Lagoon. I consider this to be a tricky and hard target.

Corona Australis wide field

Posted By Greg Bradley

Here is a wide field version of Corona Australis.

I took this on Monday night in cold temps at my dark site observatory in remote NSW Australia (I have kangaroos on my property - I can feel them looking at me at night from somewhere off in the darkness when I am outside!).

FSQ106N, Tak NJP mount, Sbig STL11000CM.

11 x 15 minutes at -30C.

Lagoon Nebula with a difference

Posted By Greg Bradley

Following Russell Croman's example of the Lagoon I have produced my own.

Notice anything unusual about it?

Omega Nebula

Posted By Greg Bradley

Here is a Ha I took last night during the full moon.

It amazes me how you can take an image through a full moon.

Dumbbell Nebula

Posted By Greg Bradley

This is more of a target for Northern Hemisphere imagers as it is quite low in the North here.
Last night, 4 x 15 minutes, RCOS 12.5 inch, STL11000CM camera, Tak NJP mount from my backyard observatory.

I might try to get some Ha for this tonight.
