Great shot kirbisan! Very nicely processed. That's a ton of data and the result shows the work you put in. SS ... [Attachment(s) from Kirby Benson included...
Here's the first guided run for the G11. There were some issues with the dec guiding. I was mostly able to deal with that by applying more weight to...
Hi Folks,  Attached is a single 60 minute exposure with the TMB152 APO/ST10 using an H-alpha filter. I actually did ngc6979 and ngc6992 as well just to see...
Very nice, Rich. What issues were you having with the dec? If they are backlash related, a slight dec misalignment on the polar axis can sometimes help by...
Beautiful and deep, Mike. I see some extra stuff in there you don't usually pick up with a shorter exposure. Bet you had some significant blooming on the...
Dave, I was getting guiding errors that would very slowly accumulate. I think pulses were given to the motor, but they were never enough (I was using...
Hi Dave,  Yes... This was an especially long exposure. However, sometimes it's good to push systems to see what the limits are -- the fun of exploring :-) ...
Mike You got some amazing detail. The only place I see any distortion is where the blooming was removed. But I have never before seen such delicate detail in...
That's a real beauty, Kirby. I really like the image scale on this one. DD From: ASLC_Imagers@yahoogroups.com [mailto:ASLC_Imagers@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf...
Outstanding depth Mike! SS ... [Attachment(s) from Michael Sherick included below] Hi Folks, Attached is a single 60 minute exposure with the TMB152 APO/ST10...
That is really a beautiful image Mike. I can see into it. Kirby From: ASLC_Imagers@yahoogroups.com [mailto:ASLC_Imagers@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Michael...
HI Folks, Â Thanks for the nice comments on the Veil Nebula image - much appreciated. Â Mike ... From: stevensmith@... <stevensmith@...> Subject: Re:...
Hello Folks,  Attached are a couple of image taken last night of ic405 "The Flaming Star Nebula".  One image was taken from our Sagrada Observatory with...
Hello Folks,  Here's another result from my recent imaging session testing simgle 60 minute exposures. This image of M33 was taken with the TMB 152...
Hello Folks,  The attached image of ngc891 (cropped) that was imaged early in the evening last night from our JMSM Observatory with the 14"Rc/STL6303.  ...
You've been a busy boy, Mike! The M33 image is incredible. The long Ha exposure has really caught some nice Ha regions. I can hardly wait for the composite...
Just spectacular Mike! So much stuff to look at in these shots. SS ... [Attachment(s) from Michael Sherick included below] Hello Folks, Attached are a couple...
Hello Fellow Imagers,  As many of you know, I am designing and building a 24" RC telescope aand dedicated Fork Mount. As you can imagine, this project is...
Note that there is a spare 16" Meade LX200 Classic and pier gathering dust at my home. Might its use in this sort of environment be acceptable to NMSU, which...
Hi Chuck,  A telescope such as the 16" Meade LX200 would perform nicely at a dark sky, high elevation site like the JMSM Observatory. Seeing conditions at...
Very interesting. Both shots are great but you can really see the difference in fine detail with the 14. Very productive couple of days for you! Dave From:...
These really make you aware of the amount of Gas and Dust there is between the stars. I have to wonder if the scientists that are looking for dark mater have...
If it is just sitting around collecting dust, I would be interested in using it until we get the observatory built. But if someone else can make better use of...
