First Image of 2019

I was out last night testing me new EQ6 bought from Ktec and took the following image of M27.

I realised that I was slightly out of practice when I took a 2 min sub with the guide camera!

Very good image of M27 the Dumbbell Nebula in Vulpecula, Michael.

Thank you for posting it up here on www.irishastronomy.org
The green hue is very realistic to what we ought to see through our telescopes.

Clear skies are here again!

"I realised that I was slightly out of practice when I took a 2 min sub with the guide camera!".....ha ha...nice one  :-)Hope you get some good weather to play with the new mount. Fingers crossed that it will be a productive Autumn/Winter season for you.Brendan.

Hi Mike, 

Very many thanks for posting your image of M27 on the forum for us to see. The number of stars in the frame is staggering: I particulary like the line of stars at the right side of the frame. 

Kindest regards, 

Darren. 

And best of luck with your new piece of equipment.... Looking forward to seeing what else you produce with it.
