I'll be sure to add N95 masks to my packing list next trip at this rate!

Good idea! Hope the fires would end soon though

Nice images Ivan. I like the "Fighting Dragons" very much. I do not think I had a chance to image this nebula sofar.

Thanks kochu! Yes it shines quite brightly in the narrowband wavelengths too, so it is possible to do an SHO version from Singapore. The image here is actually a HaRGB composite.

Hi everyone,

Here are some images from last weekend. Since there wasn't an official trip going down, I went along with a few of the folks from here over the weekend. All images are taken with an 85mm refractor and CCD camera.

1. The Andromeda Galaxy
100 minutes LRGB



2. The Eagle Nebula
150 minutes HaRGB





3. The Helix Nebula
210 minutes LRGB



4. The Western Veil Nebula
90 minutes LRGB



Thanks for looking!

wow...the images are awesome, Ivan..! Andromeda especially..
As I noted, last weekend had a bright moon around, so I guess much lesser visuals and more photgraphy

Nice work Ivan
