Cacoon Nebula 8 Sept 2016

Ok I have taken quite a good image of this tricky nebula. Take a look on the web and look at some of the images. 4 X 400sec per RGB. No darks. (had to manually take out a couple of hot ones)

Last night M51 -Bit windy so not quite round stars.

Not bad image considering the gusty wind. Just 3 X 300sec per colour

M33 next to 30% moon.

Managed to get M33 as it was a clear but very bright night.

Monochrome Horsehead in Orion – Round Stars (Yes!!!)

Finally fixed the problem of round stars on long exposures. 6 X 600sec 8inch RC Astrograph and SXVR-H18 at -20degC
