Hi All Imagers

This fellow (well-known) is really throwing out the challenge, anyone in Oz care to take him on?

Got another 4 hours of H-alpha to add to the 8 hours of RGB data.

These fellows have some nice gear and have spent a long time learning how to use it plus learning all the image processing techniques. Real dedication to their craft, but for many of us, just an inspiration. Given all their gear, it would still take a long, long time to develop the skills to produce images like that.

As you correctly say, inspirational.

Enjoy,

Clear skies...
