I have finished preliminary edits of a new RRGB shot of NGC 6960. The image is at:<br><a href=http://www.regulusastro.com/regulus/photos/text/ngc6960_rrgb.html...
Hi John,<br><br>I just saw your stunning image. Just beautiful. I tried to get my imaging season started but our skies are so hazy from the forest fires that...
John, indeed a beautiful image of the Veil. I also like the "comets" album you've added - excellent images. We have clouds in this part of the world and ...
Hi Cal and Serena,<br>Good to hear from you two. It has been pretty quiet around here and elsewhere on the net. Got back from the outdoor competitions last...
Hello all,<br><br>I'm just new to this club. My name is Erik Bryssinck and i live in Belgium, about 10 km from Antwerp (very light-pollutted). I was starting 6...
Hi John. Your NGC6946 appears to be quite a challenge, being small, dim and with a lot of relatively bright stars in the field of view. The result looks...
Hello Erik, welcome to the group. It has been a bit quiet around here lately for a variety of reasons. Your images are fine. The use of a quickcam is quite...
Thanks Serena, That is a large galaxy which reminds me a lot of M-101: same structure and same amounts of Hydrogen regions floating in the spiral arms. ...
Kyudo? This sounds like one of those Eastern energetic things. Immediately you can tell that I've never had contact with kyudo, but I suspect you're going to ...
Hi from Springbrook<br>I will be under taking measuring on size and depth of craters and height of mountain on the moon.<br>Do you know anyone who has done ...
It's been quiet here! My dear wife let me buy a new camera, a ST-10e. I've only taken a few images but I'm very impressed. The download time is very loooong...
Hi Cal,<br>That pelican is very delicately imaged. And too big for my screen! The 10E certainly produces beautiful images! 3.2M pixels, eh? 6.8micrometre ...
Hi Cal (again),<br>Meant to mention the USB interface for Starlight Xpress has greatly reduced readout times, so maybe SBIG will be producing a similar...
Hi Serena, Thanks for your comments. I think many people are using bigger monitors and larger screen area selections. I like the higher resolution screen...
Oh my ! Cal, those are great. That new SBIG unit is quite the imager, eh? And... combined with the FSQ-106n, it is perfect. You have to try a LONG LRGB of M31 ...
Hi there Andre,<br>This is a common high school and college level project in astronomy classes these days. Try these links to help you on your way:<br><a...
Hi John,<br>I guess you're using 35mm? Very nice image. I notice that most of the excellent images published in the astro mags originated on film, so that ...
Hi John, I like your film shot! I like the sky around the object. It makes it more natural looking. <br><br>Thank you for the comments. I would very much like...
Hi Serena,<br>Yes, it was 35mm film... somthing I do very rarely these days. I had about 10 years of film attempts before I got successful results, then I ...
Hi Cal,<br><br>Thanks!<br><br>The key to Gendler-like work is time time time. His integration times are huge. That really does make all the difference. At that...
Hi John,<br>Actually I thought you might have been using a larger format - it's a beautiful image. However the expertise obvious in the image lead me to think...
Hi Serena,<br><br>That is a great idea, but I must confess that I am no good in a dark room these days. My patience for chemical work died out in my brain...
Hi John,<br>Ah, no. I wouldn't wish all that darkroom stuff on you. The S&T article I was thinking of was "Combining Exposures with Layer Masks" by Jerry ...
Hi Serena, I just re-read that article, and it is all becoming clearer to me now ;-) I shall give it a try. All I need are some clear moonless nights right...
I decided to try a Hutech light pollution filter and think it helps the light gradients in my monochrome images. However, I have the worst problems in the ...
I obtained color frames for the NGC6992 shot but forgot the Tak FSQ-106 does not like binned images very well. The color frames were binned 2x2 and made the ...
