One time I took two and a half hours worth of 'data' with the DSLR. Yes you guessed it, NO memory card!! More recently discovered after an hour's imaging that I had forgotten to click 'Autosave' images in the ATIK software. The other one I remmber was spending 15minutes looking for a guidestar. Yes you guessed it again, take the cap off the guidescope Dave!

At least your one was fixable Kieran!

Regards and Clear Skies,

Dave.

Done that one to Dave with astroart software :oops: . You'd think they would set this to default when you call up the sequence window.

Kieran,

It is real. See here;

www.stargazing.net/david/messierD70/VeilNebula1_300mm.html


In that image the stars on the less dense side appear a lot more red which would suggest some form of dusty nebs in the region. Cool the way it zig-zags at the top of the image.

Quick question. Have they(the pro's) identified the source of the veil system supernova?
