Description

Hi everyone! Been a loooong while between posts.

My first image after getting the camera back from it's extended holiday in Portugal.

This is a shakedown from my light polluted Melbourne, Australia backyard to see if the ongoing camera shutter issues have been resolved at the Atik /QSI factory - happily, so far so good, gosh, so much to remember after a break of 5 months!

Sadly the weather here in southern Victoria. Australia has been dire - just 3 clear nights in the past month so this is all the data I have, but it's come up pretty well overall, largely thanks to Voyager & Noise Xterminator - Amazing software!

I've mapped Ha > Deep Red, O3 > Blue and S2 >ultrared for a more "natural" look - seemed to create a nicer result than the HST version I was originally tinkering with. 

These bizarre shaped little nebs in the LMC remind me of Dick Dastardly and his motley crew in the old cartoon TV show "The Wacky Racers". 
Some random, crazy stuff up there - always a pleasure to image!
