The Lion Nebula, I took this data using the Williams Optics FLT 132 and QSI 660. Roboscopes Pier 7. Imaged from Spain total exposure time was just over 9 hrs photographed in Hydrogen Alpha, Oxygen 3 and Sulphur 2.

Messier 1 - Crab Nebula
I try to use examples found in nature for how I process my narrowband colours. For this one I used watermelon tourmaline as my inspiration. More information is at: astrobin.com/se6u4u

A close up of the core of Messier 33. A difficult target to do because of its high dynamic range. If you want more information the Astrobin link is: astrobin.com/9y0aj9

Thanks to @656imaging for the #ad250 #dreamscope and @altair_astro for the iOptoron CEM 120

M13 - The Cluster in Hercules
The #AD250 from @656imaging was a dream to use. I've even managed to get the tiny galaxy visible that is visually next to M13. I'm delighted with the result to say the least #DreamScope #M13 #Messier13 #GlobularCluster @AltairAstro #iOptron #Cem120
Messier 92
Taken with my #AD250 from @656imaging and #CEM120 from @altair_astro. Compared to my old scope, I have sharper stars, better star colour, definition and separation in the core. More info at astrobin.com/402781

An impact on the Moon, seen during the January 21st lunar eclipse, has created a new 15m crater and hit with the force of a over a tonne of TNT according to new research! Still no signs of the second impactor apparently only noticed here at the ROG! ras.ac.uk/news-and-press/res…

62 years ago tonight, a 34yr-old Patrick Moore stood in front of the cameras and presented the very first episode of The Sky at Night. Happy Birthday @BBCStargazing!
Messier 99 - Taken with very poor skies and gusts of wind which spoiled the guiding. M99 is approximately 49,000,000 light years away and was
discovered in 1781 by Pierre Méchain. It's astrobin link is: astrobin.com/401955

Messier 40 or Winnecke 4 is a double star in the constellation of Ursa Major. Taken with my new AD250 from @656imaging and the CEM120-EC mount from @altair_astro. If you want more detail the astrobin link is: astrobin.com/399989

Messier 106
Multi-night imaging with the AD250 from @656imaging and the CEM120 from @altair_astro. Seeing was poor, but I managed to get some of the outer fine arms of the galaxy. See astrobin.com/398965 for more.

My first full imaging run with the new rig. An AD250 Dall-Kirkham from @656imaging mounted on an iOptron CEM120-EC @altair_astro .
