Hi Eamonn
Hope you don’t mind but I have used your image of NGC 2841 on my PC as a background on the desktop, I really like this image!
Without going off topic Eamonn could you post some brief details about the software (MIRA Pro) you use for measurement / processing your astronomical images, do you need advanced equipment and expertise knowledge in order to get the best out of this particular software or can a person relatively new to astrophotography use it also to good effect?

Clear skies

Using 0.9m Wynne Newt.at f/4

That has to be the biggest scope in Ireland.

That would be the big one behind you Eamonn:

Eamonn,

That is one incridible image!! What I'm thinking is what would some object like this look like if you put several hours exposure time into it.

Superb !!!!

Eamonn, what are B, Vand R? I assume these are different filters?
