Fresh eyes for some old happy snaps.

G'day once again folks :)

Id like to post a few of my favourite recent images here for all to see if thats ok?

Im not much of a record keeper so forgive me if I have forgotten the exact exposure details please.

I took all of these in the past year on the GRAS-008 12.5" RCOS/PME. This scope was about 80km from my nice warm study and i used my keyboard and internet connection to control the sessions remotely. Its just amazing what we can do these days while watching late night television :)

I have basic exposure stats on the images but feel free to ask any questions and do be critical ok?

The galaxy cluster image was taken on an SBIG 2000XM, the other two with an STL-11000M. All RGB with lums.

Thanks and clear skies!

Wow Peter, nice work. I love the first one. The spikes on the stars look great. I'm always a big fan of these widefield type images. I also appreciate the expanse we must be looking at 20million light years?

Your other shots are great to. I'd like to hear more about the remote control process that was done to obtain these images. I think there would be many people that would like to do something like this but maybe don't know how.

Hey Fred, welcome to the site mate. Let me know if you get stuck anywhere. :thumbsupmate:

Lovely work on all these little gems! My favourite would have to be the galaxy cluster and I too love the star spikes. Thanks for sharing. :)
