Hi Richard, ... In addition, it seems to me that guiding (probably) was not perfect, some of the brigther stars look a bit oblong ... For the shake of beauty I...
... Looks quite good to me: I would just play a bit with levels/curves to increase contrast a bit. Focusing and guide look good, too. Can't say what you will...
The weather here looks perfectly synchronised with weekends (meaning that it rains...), expecially when the Moon is waning, so I could just take a Ha shot of...
Hi Richard, Your new image need some more contrast and as you said you need more exposure for more signal and less noise but this image promise to do very...

... bit ... perfect, some ... You are right but it wasn't guiding. I was imaging from a wooden deck that was about 20feet above the ground and there were four...
How could I missed that, the wooden deck signature! :-) We spent a few years living the US east coast (NJ) and I used to image from the wooden deck when we had...

hi looks like some more exposure time would have help this out alot...but looks like a great start.... i'm sure imaging from a wooden deck is difficult...you...
the deck was a big problem; once I got up there and saw that was where I would be imaging I readjusted my expectations for the night. While imaging my guiding...
Richard, I'm already looking for ways to cut down on the cost. (P.S. if the wife divorces me I'll have to sell the house.) Last night after getting tired of...
It's amazing how incompatible people, decks, and imaging turn out to be. In preparation for the Venus transit, we set up some telescopes on a elevated...
funny you bring that up. Two years ago when there was all this Mars Madness for the really close conjunction, I was out at Fremont Peak for what I was hoping...
Hello Antonio, I've been out on personal business for a while so just catching up on all of the NIB posts. Can't recall if I repled to your post, but you have...
Good evening: This is likely one of those questions to which there is not an absolute answer but I am looking for some general guidance. If I acquire 1 hour...
Any special tips for cleaning narrowband filters to avoid injuring them, or just lens cleaner, clean lens tissue and clean hands to make sure no skin grease...
I clean all optics the same. Of course is depends up on the amount of contamination. I use a blast of air first to get rid of any big gritty particles. If...
... Thanks. Actually I realised that I used 8 bits instead of 16 in Photo- shop, and the darks were those I took a while ago, with lower ambient temperature,...
Hi John, Thank you very much!!! Your beautiful images have inspired and motivated me and were among the key drivers in my recent H alpha imaging pursuit. In...
Hi Richard: I know it has been an event filled day for youbut when you have a moment, can you please provide your thoughts on my question below. Thanks. Clear...
usually i use narrowband filters that all have the same bandwidth. Either my 3nm Cust Sci set (preferred) or my 6nm Astrodons (in dark skies only). I expose...
THAT is a remarkable image Richard. The detail is hauntingly beautiful!!! I am trying to complete imaging of M16, although mother nature is not being...
A guy could grow old waiting for the fog to clear around here! I had been working on new data for the Helix, and got as far as the H- alpha -- then the fog...
That's a heck of a outer shell wall Mike. Nice job. deep is the way to go. I have no clue why certain people think the way to do this is to take a bunch of...
Thanks for the comments Richard. The 60 minute subs with the ME don't seem to be a problem, although in some quadrants of the sky the guiding is not as...
