Anjal,
Great image - and what a unique view. I like the detail and the outer wisps of the Dumbbell you have captured.

The Cocoon in Ha

Posted By Jim Thommes
Nice Jason,
Looks like you got the dark lanes that spoke out from the cacoon too.

So I guess the focus got soft due to temperature change? I have had that happen before and I was looking right at it (unattentively I guess). I couldn't even say I fell asleep 8) .

Great image - I can't really tell your focus was not optimum.

Another M13

Nice Image Peter!

I have a G11/Gemini. (So it is at best similar to yours.) I use PHD Guiding on the default settings and I set my G11 at .7 sidereal rate. The PE of my G11 is low - but it is a bit jumpy. So I want my guiding responive to any quick mount errors but not so sensitive as to chase seeing.

NGC 7635 - The Bubble Nebula SHO scheme.

Posted By Jim Thommes
Anjal,
All images are very nice presentations of the data. I guess I have to say that this version is one that might be most recognizable. I have to say that asthetically, I like the HOO version best.
