Very good, Richard. This is one of my favorites but for me to shoot it, it has to be a really good night. I'm at 43 degrees and this target hangs pretty low to...
well thanks Frank I feel your pain too. It isn't an easy target from my home:it is in my worst sky and it is shooting right over my roof and we have had very...
Lovely image Richard. Nice color transitions with great visual depth. Not much sign of the seeing problems. Charlie _http://www.amateurastronomy.com_...
thanks for the comment Charlie the seeing was a bit soft for at least some of the image shots. probably the biggest issue for me this week was the high daytime...
Ah yes, I can see some issues in that one. We have also had very unseasonably hot weather with a number of days above 100. I took out the equipment, and shot a...
the odd thing about the seeing out here is that it can be very good when we get the summertime scorching days the key thing is managing ground level cooldown...
I have a much higher resolution version of the M16 image from which I cropped the "Pillars" region. I have now added that to my webpage and think you may enjoy...
I had not thought about using the sprinklers. That is a great idea. I will give that a shot about sunset next time. We also have pretty low humidity. Very...
you can thank Benoit Schillings for that idea. He suggested it to me some time back and it really works besides that the grass likes it too... ... From:...
Hello all, This object is not so easy to do with narrowband filters, OIII is so particulary difficult to process and challenge is to keep a good S/N on the ...
Hello all, After what feels like an eternity, I have an image to share! Let's start with the picture information: Here is the current results of my imaging...
nice work and a herculean effort Eric i am always a sucker for the Hubble palette on this object so that's my favorite of the set. but they are all nice the...
I took this data during breaks in the monsoons during July and August using the facilities at JMSM Observator and have just now finished processing it. I...
Thanks Richard! I'd seen some (L)RGB and film images of this target and was a bit surprised how much more the Ha exposure brought out of the nebula. The wide...
here is a survey map of the area http://www.narrowbandimaging.com/ic1396_map_page.htm and another http://www.narrowbandimaging.com/sh2129_map_page.htm and then...
Thanks, Richard! The Hubble Palette is the most rewarding to see, yet the most challenging to bring out with the H-alpha dominance. I'm glad I was able to...
Hello, here is one taken 2006 in H-Alpha http://gallery.mac.com/poschinger#100048/ Pano-20--20LBN445-00XH-20--203647x4108-20--20SLIN-&bgcolor=black Konstantin ...
Richard, Nice survey maps and shot of the nebula! It doesn't look like you picked up much [SII] and [OIII] either. -Matt Thomas http://www.astromatt.com/ CCD...
there clearly isn't much [SII] and [OIII] in that nebula elsehwere I have imaged a chunk of IC1396 and SH2-129 in the same frame and while there's a fair...
Hi Matt Thomas, that is coming from the software Autopano. I think perhaps it has to do with the focal length. Till now I haven't find a way to manipulate ...
Hello, Veil nebulae is a real pleasure to process, each band is rich and I do for comparaison some flash animations between gaz. Technical data Object :...

Bonjour, A new palette for this object give to the nebulae a realistic impress and I love this image.The blend of blue/grey of diffuse nebulae of Ha/SII and...
very nice Nicolas, you do bring some structure I had never seen before. Can you do a black, red, yellow version for a belgian fellow ? -- benoit ... very nice...
