Hi Friends. I want to share this image of NGC 7380, The Wizard. It is a bi-color NB image taken with a Starlight Xpress SXVF-M25C color camera and Astronomik...
Glad to see you're having some success (and fun) at this, Gordon! ... www.flemingastrophotography.com Direct from Boston - brilliant diamonds in pea soup Also...
This is using data acquired over two night (first time properly doing so!!). The focus was much better on the second night, so half the data was less than...
Beautiful image, Don! The enhanced radial OIII spokes are very exciting. Congratulations. I'll be posting later today a new target for your big down under...
Nice going, Robert! The Cave is a lot dimmer than many think. You have nice deep data, and ,at least on my monitor, it can easily handle significantly more...
Here is an image of SH2-171. It has 6 hours of Ha and 2 hours of SII and 03 binned 2x2. Captured with the SXVF-H9 and the Meade 80 mm APO. Comments always...
Hi Mark, Very nice image and good detail! I think you used the 2x2 binning for SII and OIII successfully. However, I would suggest reducing the magenta...
I learned recently from an Ha image by John Gleason that the Small Magellanic Cloud contains a lot of less well known nebulosity. The brightest of these...
Now that is spectacular.... Way to go; Mark! The SX camera was definitely a step up from the DSI cameras. Your recent images, along with image processing,...
I am working on Sh2-188. I have taken 4 hours Ha and got a pretty decent result. I can't find much info about this little planetary nebula. Does anyone know...
Thanks Jim, The nice thing is that both imagers work closely to the same. The main advantage for the SX uis the no need for dark frames so it saves a ton of...
Man, your production has really accelerated <g>. Your SH2-171 is quite interesting too. ... www.flemingastrophotography.com Direct from Boston - brilliant...
Thanks Neil. Ive had a very good run of weather here the last week or so and I tried to take advantage of it. I tried to stick in the SH group to find some of...
After doing a bit more reading on processing (Neil's and Ken Crawford's docs/examples) I tried reworking the image a bit. I think this one is smoother than the...
Looks like you're having fun there, Chris! Great to see. Man, ain't these a cut above what was done by us amateurs 20 years ago? Which program were you using...
Thanks, Neil. There remain a lot of southern nebulae to be "discovered" by narrowband imagers. I enjoy finding a new target or at least a new perspective on...
Neil, I am truly having a blast. This hobby provides satisfaction on many levels. The learning part of it while frustrating is perhaps the most rewarding...
... Good to hear! ... My story is very similar to yours...except use the figure 30 instead of 20 <g>. ... That should work jsut fine! ... True. I just...
I just completed my Sh2-188. I did not think this would respond to OIII or SII so I ended up doing an HA+RGB Combine. Here is the result of that effort. ...
Nice job Robert. Some just dont like SII and O3 I usually shoot 1 binned shot for each channel and see how it responds then decide if it will be a SIIHaO3...
... If I recall I had noticed that there were noticeable dead pixels that were created. However, that was trying to combine to master images that were summed...
Mark, Well I should have thought of it. I use CCD Commander to image. I should be putting a test shot with each filter before the I start a new object in Ha....
Robert, I accidentally found this on The Sky a while back when I was looking for targets around Cassiopeia. I acquired a few hours of data, but I need to...
Beautiful image Robert. Florencio ... From: Robert <robt2112@...> To: astro_narrowband@yahoogroups.com Sent: Thursday, September 4, 2008 10:26:56 AM ...
