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 ...
Good work! Some day I'd love to get down there and<br>image the southern objects....some day....<br>Your stars are round: good guiding. I find that<br>color ...
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 ...
Hi there. I took on the challenge, and now my eyes hurt from looking at the monitor so long 8-)<br>I created an anitmation of the Hubble Nebula images and ...
Thanks, Cal. I agree: we should all be taking images of this nebula and adding them together for a long movie. It would be interesting to see.<br><br>Had a...
Well I've done some more work on that Tarantula, but despite bringing out more nebulosity I think it is overcooked in places. The seeing was probably not good...
Hi Cal. Thanks for your comments and I'll have a look at those points. I've found fascinating that the image can be presented in so many ways. I sent the 4 ...
I recall that some people here might be using CMY filters (instead of RGB) for color imaging. Is anyone willing to send me a couple of finished CMY color...
I acquired frames, through the breaks in the clouds, for a couple of night and got this image of NGC2903. It's taken through the FSQ-106 and extender-Q. The...
This one took two nights' work to complete. This is an LRGB shot through the FSQ106n at f/5 with the ST7. Totals:<br>Lum: 1 hour<br>Red: 10 minutes<br>Green:...
That's nice! You got some nice HII regions and NGC4248 stands out nicely. UGC7356 is just starting to show off to the right. I've really started to like images...
Hey, thanks, Cal. It was a fun time. Now that the Moon is coming back and yet another snow storm is hitting us, I have nothing to do but shoot arrows (indoors)...
