how much did this setup cost? I currently tinker with an old skool celestron and wanted to take it to the next level. Great image!

Nice Simon! The big SCT's produce a really nice field of view for close ups of these extended nebulae... I found with my SCT that maintaining good focus was very difficult, as it would drift between exposures.. Yours actually looks rather sharp considering you say the focus was off a little.
Well done.
Alex.

Thanks a lot Alex! I haven't used the SCT for a long time. Thinking of selling both scope to get a better refractor...
Cheers!

You should submit some of these to National Geographic.
It's beautiful beyond words.

Nice shot regardless of being slightly out of focus. Interesting color balance in the nebulosity and good balance in the Trapazium's brightness (tough to not burn it out sometimes ... especially when all you're exposures are of the same value).
Cheers.

It really has been a long time. It's been a really hard term. Thanks for the card by the way for v.day! I was really touched but I couldn't really acknowledge it at the time because of my then-boyfriend. He cheated on me. Grr. My msn is kerrylynthomas@live.co.uk. xxx
