Link below is the original 1st hour of data of "Thor's Helmet", since then I have accumulated now 4 hours of HA data. This seems to be a tough object to image...
Hi Mike, Your image is looking a lot better now.. are you planning on adding O3 and SII later on if the weahter permits. btw here's an interesting article...
I've never tried this particular object, but it seems to be coming along very nicely. Those hours do just tick by, don't they! Peter ... since then I ... ...

It has been quite a while since I have processed anything. I am a bit rusty. Here is the veil mapped to about every combo with RGB,Ha,OIII & SII. After...
Good Morning folks, The skies finally cleared here in South Jersey so I took the opportunity of first light with my new SBIG ST-8XME camera to capture a...
Dingo's back.... to the great wet north. Wow. You guys sure have been having some rain in California. Finally got to see the sun today. An interesting trip...
nice report John the problems you mention all sound very frustrating. Some are easier solved than others unfortunately. we should talk about that fast...
Yes, more frustration and attention to detail than anything else. A fork mout would seem to be a much better platform for remote imaging. I predict that fast...
John, do you know if a reliable fork mount with good tracking characteristics is commercially available, or would this be a custom made product? I'm not...
... one of my buddies has one of those. They aren't bad but he's had some issues with the worm gears that have been dragging on for over a year. I think they...
I was wondering about the virtues of the E-180, but I can't get used to the stars' shapes. The large obstruction and heavy spyder really require you to like...
Me too. My thinking is that the FSQ will have superior star size and shape across the STL11000M array compared to the E-180's smaller corrected field of view....
Whaat? The APOD guys actually posted a grayscale astro-image???? Big congrats Peter. You just opened the door for us grayscale guys. I thought they were...
Hey John, you've had at least one and probably many more b/w images selected. "All's quiet on the Ionization Front" comes immediately to mind.... But still...
You and John are too kind. I know that when I do a search on the NASA APOD site for either of your names, it just scrolls off the page with your images. I'm...
Really, I had not seen that one on APOD. I talked to the APOD guys about grayscale. Bottom line they are interested in different aspects on astronomical...
After an eternity of rain, last night I managed to finally take an image again. This time I used the Stinger450 18" f/12.6 classical cassegrain with a focal...
Pretty good shooting Richard. Especially considering that we haven't had any imaging opportunities at all l for 2 months! I'm on the other side of the hill...
