WOW never expected that ,that you so much , means a lot , as you rightly said , its a very long waiting game , and then you have to be so quick as they like to whiz around, hope to go bck again one day ,and maybe wait for that most wanted shot of him coming out of the water,

Fishing Boat in Cornwall , half a mile out to sea, ,trusty Nikon Coolpix to capture it

Some very nice processing there Paul and the final result is excellent.

The stars are from astro software, called star spikes pro, its something we do.  a lot of imagers don't like them , but its what you fancy I guess , Noel Carbono in America is the producer of them

Ok , now this is very faint and takes a lot of exposure, for this colour I would need to take 24 by 20 min exposures in Ha Hi Alpha and 24 by 20 min images in 02, hi Alpha is red emission and 02 is Blue emission. By Astro camera is connected to my small scope  and my guide camera would be connected to the large scope,

You have to guide on a star you pick and lock onto it for the duration of the exposures, this is very complex and you need to learn how to operate and guide, that's another story .

Once I have all the images in HA and 02 . I then have to process each value to a final image in Ha and 02. these are then worked through PS using a synthetic green to create an RGB image

And the final looks like this .

Here is my scopes for this image .
