Rol, I'm sure that I could rebalance the colour but the detail in the nebula is a bit disappointing so I'm doing to cut my losses and stop porcessing this...

I meant to post this earlier. We saved these images in TIFF format. The only processing I did was to convert the TIFF to a jpeg with 50% compression (to keep...
OK...I lied, I processed this image just a teeny bit more.. Here it is one more time but I used the green channel to create the L, as it was really clean....

I'm sure you're all sick of seeing M42... $200 and $1000 scopes were used to take the following images. Guess which shot was taken by an ST80 and which one was...
Albert; Wow, they are very similiar! I'm guessing M42s is from the TV Pronto. Wondering, did you use an IR Block filter? I think it may reduce the bloat around...
Very interesting, Albert. M42s seems to be the wider view ST80 image. I think I see a bit more detail in M42s as compared to M42a? Also, the same stars seem...
Rol/Len, To try and even things up, I cropped and resized the ST80 image to match the FOV of the Pronto image. Have a look again. I do agree that he ST80...
Albert; Stars seem better in M42a than in M42s, but I think you've played a knavish trick. You switched the images around didn't ya! C'mon, admit it! ...really...

Len, No Knavish trickery...the M42a is the el che(apo) image from the ST80. All I did was crop and resize the M42a shot. The stars are not as round in the ...

Ricardo, That's a decent shot. I'm not speaking from much experience but the IR/UV may not be required on Saturn it's a much fainter target than Mars (at...
