Wow! Love it as a B&W. Can't wait to see the colour version.


I'm in Canada. Isn't that weird!

Thanks for the kind comments. I know it's a big, bright, and fairly common target, but it's been on my "to-do" list for far too long and just glad I finally got around to capturing it.

If I don't get the shots I want with the gear I have, the only optics I need to examine is the mirror on the bathroom wall. The root cause will be there.

Cheers mate. Scope is TMB92SS refractor (506mm focal length) and camera is a cooled CCD QSI583ws-8. This was 18x 8min subs.
