I agree! You could image every Messier object in a single night! I still wonder about focus at such a small focal ratio. How do you do it? George ... From:...
Nice Rich. Did you even have to guide at 1 minute subs? Now if they only made hyperstars for visual use. SS ... Here's the result from last night's color...
Hi Rich, I always enjoy seeing an image of this interesting object. You captured the Rosette nicely -- revealing much of its wonderful structure. I'm...
Hello folks,  The Sombrero Galaxy is an object that is always a wonderful to behold. The unique nature of its structure really gives a sense of awe as...
... Of interest also is the gaggle of galaxies in the background of the shot. It takes a setup like yours, I think, to even begin to see them. I've a question...
I almost finished a combined narrowband plus full color image of ngc 2237 last night before the clouds rolled in. All shots are with C11/ hyperstar3/350D. 34...
Thanks for the comments Chuck. It is amazing how many additional galaxies there are in this composition. The Hubble version of this object is incredible! ...
With my stock fork mount I must guide for any shot over 10 seconds. I lost my guide star because of a passing cloud when taking 2-minute Ha images last night....
Wow.... that is one beautiful image Rich! So how do you integrate the color, OIII and Ha data? For some reason the last part of your link is not working. ...
Let me say, Rich, that I'm very impressed. I've looked carefully at each of the incarnations of this image as you've progressed, and this last one is really...
Mike, beautiful interpretation of an amazing object. You've captured a lot of fine detail in the disk. A truly outstanding shot. Any chance of a color...
It just keeps getting better. Like George, I too am curious about how you are combining the data from the various filter combinations. SS ... I almost...
Very nice Mike. I love the look of this galaxy. I will have to give this one a try. "Galaxy season" is almost here! Here is another cool image of this...
George - M104 is a well-studied spiral galaxy seen edge-on. Please see Wikipedia below. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sombrero_Galaxy Bill _____ From:...
To add to the text that Bill referenced, the APOD image is a composite of IR and visible images. In the IR, the outer, dusty, gas-filled disc that's being seen...
Thanks Bill and Wirt.... some of the images of M104 make it look more like a ring than a spiral, but this "reprocessed" Hubble image really shows the inner...
That's a most interesting picture, George. I hadn't seen it before, so thanks much. Wirt ... From: George Hatfield To: ASLC_Imagers@yahoogroups.com Sent:...
I've done nothing out of the ordinary. I added the narrow band stacks to the full color stack in photoshop using the 'lighten' (for Ha) or 'normal' (for...
Hey Steve, I noticed that the next version of IP, may have just what the doctor ordered. The description of the feature reads: *Star size and Halo reduction...
Attached is an image of the Cone Nebula (NGC2264) from last night. This hydrogen-alpha image is from 20 x 5 minute exposures. The following equipment was...
Nice result George! I like the dramatic effect of the Cone "back-lighted" by the reflection nebula. 5 minutes exposure with Ha is on the low side, but the...
That's a beauty, Steve. How was Upham on Monday? Dave ... From: Steve Barkes <nm_astrnmr@...> I walked outside last night and saw the conjunction of the...
Great shot, Steve! This one is on my list for next month. Dave ... From: "Steve Smith" <stevensmith@...> Last night I decided to gather additional data on...
