First Salvo at M45

First Salvo at M45 was created by phoenix

20 minutes each LRGB taken on 16th/17th ending a 1am. Too many spikes methinks

I had to put on my sun glasses for that one :lol: , a very strikingly blue image, I don't mind the spikes to be honest, did you put them in or were they generated naturally. ?

Wonderful image It almost like a Christmas tree. It would be a nice picture to submit somewhere with an xmas theme to it.

ps I like the new avatar Dave. It reallly puts the dob in perspective.

Nice one Kieran - the Merope nebula is particularly well rendered. Are the spikes added in software? None of your scopes should generate their own spikes in theory.

Not unless you use some fishing gut

Nice shot there I must say.
I'd be stoked to get something like that.
