Hi Darren, ... Without a picture I wasn't sure if what you are calling a "gradient" was caused by the sky or the filter. But using color flats will help remove...
Nice shot Jim. Did you take that with the 120ST or another scope? Also, not sure, but I think I can see that little galaxy off to the lower right... Bill ... ...
Yeah, Bill, I was surprised to see some evidence of IC1296 in an Ha image. Pretty cool. I used the 120ST @ f/4 with a 9nm Ha filter for the M57 images. My...
II have a 120ST as well. Maybe I'll try taking a photo with it. I did try my DSI Pro on it once, but it was on a jittery mount. ... for the ... the page ... ...
Hi All, Well, after being smacked around about my flat image handling techniques I thought I should work out my crabbiness by processing another set of images...
Looks good Darren, I imaged the Crab last week also but have not processed it yet. I gorged my self with imaging during the spell of clear weather we had and...
Thanks to everybody for the kind comments. Hope your Crab processing goes well Iver. Darren. ... [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]...
Hi, I really don't like posing do-overs of previous images. I don't know why. Still I think I've sorted out the worst of the problems with my M33 image. The...

3690 british pounds for the class 1 monochrome, works out to be 7015.06USD. Thats a good discount from SBIG's STL11K. ... [Non-text portions of this message...
The price includes a 17.5% VAT that should only apply to EU residents. That brings the class 1 price down quite a bit. The price I calculated was for the class...
That works out to be around $5900. Not bad, considering the class 2 STL11K is ON SALE for $5700+. Might have to consider this option but have to work out...
Hmm.... I think you win (that's a nice looking M33!). Next month I work on stars..... Incidentally I've set up a folder for the October challenge entries - ...
Hi Darren, ... Thanks, but I hope you are kidding about the winning part! :-) Although we are having an object challenge I think the goal is to learn from each...
Hi Ray, Think of it as a side bet :) I deliberately didn't talk about judging when raising the image challenge because, to my mind, there is little point in...
Hi All, Any thoughts on next month's challenge object? There were some suggestions earlier about the bubble nebula (NGC 7635). This object is circumpolar...
Hi All, I'm being a newsgroup all on my own today! I've been tempted to fill that hole in my filter carousel with a H-alpha filter for a while now. There are a...
