Hi Charlie: Great-looking image! Do you use a mirror lock on your SCT? How often do you have to adjust focus during a typical imaging session? Adam ... From:...
Good Morning: With Ron's kind permission, I am posting this announcement of the 2004 SCT-User Imaging Contest. If you are a member of the SCT-User group (or ...
I am new to RGB and have just taken some images. I assumed that equal exposure times would be the way to go, as I could combine them in CCDSoft and would only...
You need my new book. There is a full chapter on color balancing in Photoshop. The book is incomplete, but you can pre-order it and get access to the content...
I stumbled across this while looking for something else. It is a really cool looking galaxy. I hope to gather more data soon to give it color and to improve...
Thanks for the comments Randy I did get a good data set and my processing is starting to come together a bit. It took me longer to process than gather the...
Thanks Bob I used your fine image of this galaxy for a color gage. The color on yours looks as natural as any I could find on the web. Charlie l In a message...
Thanks Adam Yes, I use the mirror lock. I refocus often now. It has made a big difference. When temperatures are changing, or the OTA is cooling down, I I do...
You can get reasonably close on the color balance by adjusting each RGB channel's white point in Levels. I use a 1.3:1.0:1.6 ratio with my SBIG filters. The...

If you are using a refractor you can also use a tape measure. Measure the distance of the draw tube at focus. When you go to take your flats...back out the...
That is an interesting spiral Richard. I don't recall seeing it imaged very often. About the only one I remember was one by Adam Block. I think he framed it...
Very nice Ron! That was the companion I was thinking of, but you managed to squeak in the entire Trio. And what an assortment, edge-on, almost face-on and an...
Actually, I have bought your new book and have downloaded your current chapters. Your chapter on color balance does give me the basics ---- But, I was hoping...
If you want to do it numerically, you would need to do it in MaxIm DL where you can see the numbers. The problem is that it involves iteration. First you clean...

Ron, An FYI I just installed the newest 1.9.1 version, and when it was all done it stated installation of version 1.9.0 complete However when I checked; it did...
Thanks. I wanted to get 1.9.1 out quickly, so I have not yet updated the text on the installation screens. But you do get the correct version installed. Ron...

Hi All Just was looking at some interesting stats I though may be of interest, given Ron W took the first picture of Sedna....it shows what an achievement it...
Thanks for your advice. It sounds like modifying exposure length is the way to go. Do you just take a humongous number of darks -- or is it possible to scale...
