John and the group,<br><br>I've be doing fine, thanks for asking. I was about to go on a rant about our crummy weather when I got a few hour break in the...
Cal, Nice shot! Don't be too hard on yourself, man. The signal of the Horsehead is realllllly low, especially with a 4" scope. Your image is great. I really ...
John, Thanks for the comment. I am happy with the image except for the tracking. I picked up some Slick50 grease in Arizona and regreased the mount. I also...
Cal,<br>Working at sub-zero temperature sounds like fun. The frost on everything in your observatory must be very picturesque. Rather like working in a fridge....
Hi Cal,<br><br>A rather simple observatory. A pier, a platform, and a little shed containing just a bench and places set things out. It will have fabric tent...

Just to prove that I'm not spending all my time sailing, building observatories and archery, I've posted a LRGB image of Saturn. I had some error in the...
Nice shot, Serena. I like the subtle colors you<br>have captured there. I find that doing LRGB imaging of planets to be a serious challenge due<br>to the ...
John, Your M81 is very nice! I also like the images you posted several days ago. You must be getting a little clearing. I spent last night working with the...
Serena, That's a nice images! I think planets are tough and I agree with John, you captured the color very well. <br><br>I'm not sure that I'd apologize for ...
Thank you Cal and John for your comments. I used AstroArt to do the alignment and for planets I use its "correlation" function for doing the alignment. This...
I've posted a new image of the Tarantula Nebulae (declination -69, mag +8, size 40'). This needs more work. I used AstroArt to automatically re-align and add...
Serena, That's a beautiful nebula. Your stars are aren't bad shaped and you show some star color. I think it's a good image. Please post your updates if you ...
I had clear skies until the fog rolled in last night and took four, fifteen minute images of NGC2403. This galaxy looks like it may have some nice structure ...

Cal and John, thanks for the encouraging words. There is progress. I haven't had time to seriously look at reprocessing, but I did check alignment between two...
I took color frames for the NGC2403 image I posted recently. Some how I forgot to include the blue frame when I aligned the images and it has a slight ...
Nice images John! The re-edit of M81 brings out more detail. I was disappointed by the color of Hubble's too. I imaged it December 1999. My image scale is ...
