I thought some might be interested in a Southern target....  I know that BQ was! 

21.5 hours, FF65 (native), 2600MC, L-Ultimate, 300s gain 100.  It was a bit of a labour of love due to weather and guiding issues.  It is in the "process my data" thread if anyone wants a go.  B1.  Took almost 3 weeks which is going to sound like 3rd world problems to many...  

 

 

Hopefully posting this here and in the Spring in Texas doesn't break some rule... But not everyone follows that thread or the "Process my" thread.  So there.

Absolutely beautiful, I don't mind looking at it again. I love that you share all your great data too, I have played with it a lot. The only rule I see you in danger of breaking is that picture being too good for the Beginner forums

Thanks very much Thomas!  I was sort of jesting because my last image I cross posted here and in "experienced" and got moderated!  I had no idea it wasn't allowed.  I much prefer the BDS forum.  It is far more relaxed and it is where my digital friends are...  kind words you have spoken!  I do not consider myself that experienced.

I agree with Thomas - that's a lovely image Gilmour.  Too good for BDS but glad you post it here.

Cross posting is not allowed. Try running the "suppose everyone did that" scenario to see why.

 

Wonderful work as always and I also love to see southern hemisphere targets, since I haven't seen them for myself yet.
