A break in the clouds moving through the area allowed a couple of hours to complete a 3-panel mosaic of the lower section of the Rosette Nebula -- featuring...
Mike, the twisted spire region looks great, and the mosaic construction is seamless. Great signal to noise for a single 30 minute sub per frame. I generally...
With the bad weather here in New England I went back and processed some data from the fall. This is NGC-7000 (North American Nebula) shot with the TMB-130 F/6,...
Michael, that's a very beautiful composition. I like the way that the colors came together on this one. The weather in New England has really been terrible,...
Michael Very impressive image. I think you have achieved a great result - nice blend of the false colour that really brings out the detail beautifully. I have...
Thanks Kevin It is tiny object season coming up and I am scrambling to get a long focal length scope. I picked up a 12" Meade OTA to play around with but I...
Thanks Steve I think the doubling up of SII and OIII equaled out well with the HA to give some really nice data to work with. I am about 18 miles south of...
Thanks Jan, As of lately, I have not had the clear skies either to image these long hours but it will come around. I hope! :-) Sounds like you have a nice...
I hear you Michael. Once I have my shoulder back in shape, I am going to hoist the C-14 onto the Downing-enhanced CI-700 mount. I purchased an SX AO unit and...
Hi Gerhard, I like this version, it has a "softer" feel than mine. I was thinking about re-processing my version to sharpen the details. Maybe I won't now........
S ir, I've ordered Imageplus 2.75. And paid with Paypal account marnix.verschraegen@... Is it possible to send me the program by mail or to send me a...
Well that's the thing Kevin, have fun and play. What happened to your shoulder? This must be the astronomer's injury season, I was putting new windows in my ...
I took tumble off a ladder and severely dislocated the shoulder. The term dumb-ass comes to mind. I am 3 weeks into therapy now, with 5 more to go. I have...
The ST-2000 is a pretty good bang for the buck; it is basically a smaller version of the STL-11000 I have owned it and if your going to shoot narrowband then...
Nice images Peter. I really like the side-field Veil. Mike ... erdmanpe <erdmanpe@...> wrote: An improved image of Sh2-245 (Western side of Barnard's...
Thank you, Michael :-) I use ImagesPlus all the way up to the combination of the subexposures, but after that I move over to PS, where I feel somewhat more...
This close-up of ic1805 was imaged last night just before the fog came "rolling in". It was intended as a cool-down image for some galaxy work later on, which...
Mike, Your 14.25 RC and ST6303 combination are really performing for you. Beautiful image! Please, as I implored you before, shift your center of focus...
I forgot I had this image taken last week. I will usually start an imaging session by doing an Ha image just after the sun sets. This image of the Flame was...
