Hi folks!
Here is a collection of winter objects that I have photographed over the past few months. All of the images include both local narrowband data, as well as colour (RGB) data from Malaysia (Mersing and Malacca). They were all taken using my FS60 refractor and ST8300M CCD camera.
The Orion Nebula
Total Exposure Time: 6.5 hours
HaRGB Composite
The Horsehead and Flame Nebula
Total Exposure Time: 3h 15min
HaRGB Composite
Using DSLR colour data from Jan 15:
The Rosette Nebula
Total Exposure Time: 3.0h
HOORGB Composite
Thanks for looking!

I miss the place where stars shine bright, to gaze upwards in awe of the sight
Re: A collection of winter objects
Thanks guys! Yup Junwei, but at least there were some clearings where I could do 5 min subs. The only thing is that I have to be out in the field closing and opening the camera shutter rather than letting it do sequences.

Re: DSO imagery from Mersing
After a four month hiatus, I am finally able to image again.
Here's the latest from the recent Mersing trip over the weekend. Local forest fires shrouded the sky with haze and attenuated a fair bit of starlight. Nevertheless, consistent sky conditions with few passing clouds still made imaging possible.
VdB 105 and 106 (IC 4603 and 4604), reflection/absorption nebulae in Ophiuchus.
FSQ85ED-ST8300M-G11
LRGB Integration 5.3 hours

Excellent images, Ivan!
I esp like the colours: very natural and lots of depth.
