Getting imaging time here in the NE has been like finding gold, there has not been much of it. I have been playing around with the TOA-150 and the FSQ but am...
Splendid shots, Michael. If this is just playing around, can't wait to see something serious.....<grin> Really like your color rendering in the Area 2 shot....
Hi Folks, I thought I would post an image for the group. Even though I don't post much I wanted everybody to know how valuable the information given on this...
Hi Group, First time post and first time venture into color mapped narrow band imaging. Tak TOA-130, ST-10, Astrodons. 60 min (20x3) for each channel. ...
A pair of very nice images Michael. I really enjoyed the color patterns in the narrowband image of SADR. Clear skies, Kevin Dixon ... From: "Michael Downing"...
Hello Michael, Beautiful images! I particularly like the Hubble. We were thinking alike. The propeller nebula was next on my list of northern milky way...
Mike, Very nicely done. First time in mapping narrowband huh? Man have I got some work ahead of me, lol, would have loved to have had THAT for my first...
Thanks Ken, I will follow that :o) Nicolas Outters http://www.astrosurf.com/nico-outters/astro/index.html ... From: "Ken Crawford" <kenrc20@...> To:...
I've been enjoying the images posted on the group. The bar keeps getting higher. Keep up the good work! I finally found some time to process my M17 tricolor...
Very nice indeed, Mike, for the first time out. You should see my first time out...then again...<g>. A couple of suggestions: 1) I see just a hint of dark...
Very impressive, Terry! Nothing to fault there at all! Nice and crisp, good range of depth. Do you have a full-sized non-colorized version to post? That'll...
Hi Neil, Thanks very much for the nice comments. I'll post a non-colorized version later today. I'm in the process of transferring files to a new computer. The...
Yeah, haven't times changed, eh? I have one Tb on-line, and two backups of 1Tb each. I'm glad disc prices keep falling <g>. ... www.flemingastrophotography.com...
Hi Don, You captured this image very well. The detail and struture are amazing. The red stars can fix fixed with an RGB in Photoshop but the nebula is great....
This is a short, 3-hour Ha shot of the Eastern Veil from a couple of nights ago. (I'm in the middle of collecting OIII data for a couple of objects in the ...
Hi, A 60x20min narrow band exposures project, started in June. Equipment: RC 12.5" f/9 with ST2000XM, on ME mount Location: Near to Lyon - France All images...
Oh; well, yeah, I suppose that's an OK image for a "quickie".....<grin> Way to go, Neil. Killer shot, but it's obvious that one man's "quickie" is another...
A beautiful image Neil. Wonderful detail. Clear skies, Kevin Dixon www.kevindixon.westhost.com From: Neil Fleming This is a short, 3-hour Ha shot of the...
Neil, That is a beautiful image! If only Boston's light dome would let you image it in RGB. That would be totally incredible! I wonder if it would have all the...
Thanks for the kind words, Chris. Yeah, I don't think that a straight RGB would get the same details as the Ha, but as you said, I have little to no experience...
Thanks, Kevin. Believe it or not, this is the first I have ever shot of this terrific object! I was looking at TheSky last night, and a mosaic with the '203...
Many thanks, Jim. I think we're all challenged these days, between the weather, various trees, and our moon. I've had objects in the works for months now, due...
Beautiful shot Neil. Boy, you've got some nice detail in those thin wisps coming off on the upper left. BTW, how do you guide your long narrowband exposures? I...
Thanks, Philip. What's your mount? I've had to do a lot of playing to get the guiding working OK. I found that my local 'seeing' in combination with 1421mm...
