Hi Here's a shot of NGC55 which, believe it or not, I've never imaged in colour before. It needs more data but I don't think the weather is going to allow...
... Yes...WOW! clap clap clap! Very nice colour balance and subtle detail there Steve, a very interesting galaxy NGC55 :-) Why did you frame it like that...
Great job with this, Steve; I think your star colours are much better here than in your image of NGC 7582. cheers, Jack...

Hello CADG'ies A very rarely imaged object just for Dave Herald :-) I have processed this data into so many variations I know but having not imaged for a while...
Hi Mike It's a very fine and exquisitely processed image and I think you did achieve your desired outcome but I think I prefer the ultra deep version. Just my...
Very nice - even though it is one of the common images....! On a totally separate and only vaguely related issue. I thought I would try Google's Chrome web...
Hey thanks Dave and Steve! :-) Steve, I'm with you, I didn't travel 4 hrs up to the dark skies of Wiruna and spend 3 long nights out in the cold with my rig...
Hi I managed to get some more data for NGC55 last night. This time I also cropped and rotated the image to frame it better. I'm also working on an enhanced...
... yet. ... Some nice stella resolution in there Steve, like we are sailing right past it. I'd love to see the Ha only version when you have finished it. Mike...
This object would produce an interesting set of occultation chords! It shows once again that most asteroids are not simple ellipsoids. Albert Brakel ... From:...
Hi Here's yet another version of NGC55 with three hours of hydrogen alpha blended in to emphasize the hydrogen emission regions. I'm not sure if I did it...
A reminder - of the grazing occultation that occurs tomorrow evening. The details - as per my email of 2 Sept, are below. The two most critical bits: 1. Meet...

I seem to be coming back to this data a lot..DOH! :-o This version was an attempt to keep the overall look of the galaxy very natural while still trying to use...
Hi Mike Another great presentation of what must be terrific data. I like the emphasis of the dust lane - this is my favourite sort of Centaurus A image. ...
I hope you will be forgiving of my repeated reprocesses of this piece of work :-) I went right back to the raw 19.5 hrs of data and completely reprocessed it...
