I thought I would put all these together as one or two of them I have been working on for a while - it just so happens they have come together at the same time. Some were easier to do than others. Thanks everyone... Pier 4 - NGC 7333 Pier 4 is a ZWO ASI-2066MC Pro OSC, with a Sigma 105mm f/1.4 lens stopped to F/2, an Astromechanics focuser, guided with a ZWO ASI-120 Mini and ZWO Mini guide scope, on an Astro Physics AP900 GTo3 mount. The mount actually runs unguided, so the guide scope is in there only as a backup. For this object I used 90 subs each at 2 minutes long - totalling 3 hours.[size=100] [/size] NGC7333 finished.jpg Pier 7 - LDN 471 [size=100] Pier 7 is a William Optics FLT132 F5.6 APO, with a QSI 660-WSG Mono CCD camera, all on a Paramount MX mount. For this image I used a combination of narrowband data totalling an integration time of 560 minutes - 9 hours 20 minutes. [/size] LBN471 finished5.png   Pier 1 - NGC 6823 Pier 1 uses a 10 inch f/6.8 CDK astrograph from 656 Imaging and I used 12 Has, 18 OIIIs and 10 SIIs. I found this object more difficult to process than the others here, but each sub was at 10 minutes long, totalling an imaging time of 6 hours 40 minutes. NGC 6823 finalised2.png  
A brilliant set of images. Only had a chance to have a quick peek right now but will definitely give more time to them later. Some really interesting things to find out about these I'm sure.  Regards,  Ray

Thank you Phil for your ongoing kindness and support of the images that I do, even the ones that are a little bit dubious! You are a good man and I hope to hear from you soon. Simon
