That really is fascinating! Nice work Greg. Luckily the camera didn't move much. Ken

Fantastic Greg! Congrats mate https://epod.usra.edu/blog/2022/03/california-nebula-ngc-1499.html

Wow, excellent spotting Greg! Sure is a tiny sucker! http://simbad.u-strasbg.fr/simbad/sim-basic?Ident=w+cas&submit=SIMBAD+search I have a real affection for Carbon stars, DY Crucis being my favourite Cheers, Ken

Thanks Tim. Yeah, it is dimming rapidly now. Each night it rises less in Altitude and fading as it rises. Lets hope it makes it around the Sun for a return visit in January.

Hooray!! it's our turn here in the Southern Hemisphere to get Happy-snaps of Comet Leonard Canon 450d, 200mm f5 Newt, 6 x 30 seconds, stacked in Sequator, slight tweak of contrast in PhotoShop.

Excellent detail Greg! Always stunning seeing insects in Macro. So much too see in hairs and scales and veins. -
Beautifully sharp image! Canis Minor has always fascinated me in the sense that how did they see a small dog in 2 stars. It is probably the constellation that least matches its name

No Ray, we were clouded out both nights the comet was next to Helix Another lost moment.

For an opportunity at a very interesting Image, Comet 7p/Pons-Winnecke will be passing right by the Helix Nebula on Tuesday and Wednesday nights (15th. 16th June 2021 Aussie time). It would make a fascinating photo with both in the frame. I'm definitely going to try for it if this damn cloud goes away! Here's a Cartes du Ciel map for Tuesday Night Aussie time:

Yep, that well known Company 'Vixen Optics' is shutting down. Plenty of stock at discount prices. www.vixenoptics.com/Default.asp Apparently Vixen Japan is looking for a new distributor.

Ray, I use the 'Camera Raw Filter' in PhotoShop. It's under 'Filter' in the menu. In the image below I have circled the Noise level settings. I find it works best for me if I do Colour noise reduction first, then Noise Reduction, then 'Sharpening' last. What I like about Camera Raw Filter is that you can raise Sharpening without re-introducing the noise you just reduced.

Thanks Greg, at least I now know what EPOD is It's strange they didn't call it ESPOD Well done! Ken
-
I see the jet in his photo Ray LOL! but I don't see any photo or link in his last post to EPOD (whatever EPOD is. I've heard of APOD but not EPOD)
-
Where? I don't see anything Ken

Same here Greg. I have heard some drunks talking loudly as they were walking home from the pub at about midnight probably 3 times in the 20 years I have lived here. Being out in the country we don't even have footpaths, so what do we need streetlights for? Ken
