Nice one Jeff. We'll close the submissions tomorrow evening, so if anyone will be posting an image late tomorrow, email me to make sure I wait for you. I'll be...

Hi Kel, The Tulip looks good and the colors actually look nice as well. I am just getting around to doing the Narrow Band Imaging now and I only have HA for...
Well, I got some HA data on M16, about 120 minutes worth using 6 minute subs. I had a lot of problems that night that delayed my imaging and then a loose fit...
I had sky, not good sky mind you, last night until the clouds rolled in at 3AM so I was able to get a 2 panel luminance for this image, only 6 x 10 minutes for...
Not bad Floyd. Not as sharp as I would expect with an Ha filter. Maybe over smoothed it in noise reduction? Other than that a good start. Nice fov and you went...
Looking good Matt. I tried this section last night to add to my already 4 panel mosaic of this area and clouds got me at midnight so I went to bed. Thanks for...
After long hours of capturing 30 second subs with my DSI2 color in FITS mode with my 10" LX200 GPS in alt/az mode, and much ado in photoshop, I've posted my...
Greetings Group, I have been taking advantage of semi-clear skies, darkness, and the advice of others on this group, to image Abell 2151, also known as The ...
Mine's up there now. Looks like just Jeff and me so far. If anyone else is cooking photons, let me know, otherwise I'll post them up this evening. Or, if the...
Greg, Nice photo; looks like an impressionist painting. Didn't Claude Monet call that one "Summer Blossom"? No matter, it looks like you got enough time on it...
Very nicely done Duncan. It's amazing what you can do with a well collimated 6in reflector, sharp focus, and a DSI-C. You must have spent a little time...
I have a question regarding darks and the DSI I C. If you take darks and then the ambient temperature rises I can appreciate that you will get some additional...
Thanks Duncan, I did countless operations in Photoshop using PS filters, Astronomy Tools plug-in and NIK filters. So much so that I don't even know everything...
Rob, I'll go check out that free noise filter; thanks for the tip. My alignment was far from perfect (10' off) but it has not been a problem with my...
I guess I haven't paid attention to that up to now (never noticed it before). The Object Name (plus 0001-0001.fts) is the filename. This will also show on the...
Hi, Jim - Excellent questions! ==> Responses below... ChuckR ... ==> Correct ... ==> Yes! You get the opposite of hot pixels - cold pixels, aka "black holes"...
Hi Mark, The conditions were not that great, the seeing was soft. So the picture is not a sharp as it could be. I hope to get a few longer HA subs to add for...
Andy, I don't use DSS but I can tell you my experience with the DSI-C. First of all, it is better to save frames as FITS than JPEG because FITS uses 16 or 32...
Thanks Mark! And thanks to all who commented on this image! Matt ... From: Mark To: Meade_DSI@yahoogroups.com Sent: Tuesday, July 01, 2008 4:06 PM Subject: Re:...
Thanks Floyd. Color aesthetics aren't my strong point, and the flexibility in processing (since it's mapped and not real color) actually works against me since...
Nice image Duncan. I'm a big fan of this object, or objects (but I think you know that lol). You captured a lot of interesting stuff in there! Kicks the cosmos...
Hi, Duncan Speaking from personal experience with the DSI-II OSC camera - this is one amazing image, and you can & should be *very* proud of it! If you really...
Or, to avoid having to lasso anything (my hands aren't that steady!): * Duplicate the flattened image layer * Run noise reduction on the new layer * Select all...
That's great! How do I access the plug-in? All I have is the Noiseware Pro setup download, and the resulting installed application. This would be very cool. ...
