Very nice. I like the way these ASA scopes get such tight stars. Amazing.

Sweeeet! Love it.

I wish that galaxy were in the Southern Hemisphere along with M63.

Maybe we can do a trade of some galaxies hehehe.

Very artful Tom. You've gotten a very nice range of colours there and I really like your processing style.

Bummer about the wind. Some nice shots there so you didn't go away empty handed which is nice.

NP101 and the Big Barlow, will it work?

Posted By Greg Bradley

Give it a go and let us know!

There is also the Baader fluorite flatfield converter.

Of course when you barlow you also increase your F ratio for the same aperture.

This means longer exposure time (I think).
101 aperture at F10 if you 2X would mean 2X exposure time to get the same brightness. If you wanted shorter exposure time you would need larger aperture for the same F ratio.

Request to remain on-topic !!!!

I agree with Louie I enjoy Anthony's images as they are very unique.
Obviously he is upset about this as an issue and I can respect that.

I also enjoy reading about astrograph choices as equipment choice and right combinations and access to others experience is vital in making a nice image.

I am sure Anthony has equipment choices behind him as he has a superb AP160. The question of which gear to use is far less relevant.

Very nice Tyler. Not 100% sure I like the orientation of the shot but a very nice image.
Reminds me too much of walking up hills!
