Wow! Detail is amazing mate. The colours are beautiful, but I'm impressed with some of the detail that you have resolved. You can actually make out those dust clouds inside the nebula.
Well done mate :thumbsupmate:

That is a beautiful shot Astrolounge. What ISO rating did you use? Was there any post-capture manipulating (of the image, I mean!)?

Nice setup there Astrolounge.
Forgive what might be a silly question, but why not guide through the 100MM scope and film through LX200? I mean cann't you reduce the speed of the LX200?

l like the perspective with the smaller scope, l really only use the LX200 for visual work on planets although l may try some imaging at F/6.3 later.

Hi Astrolounge,
That's fair enought. Keep up the great work though.
Cheers Colin
