Nice results and a great story Marco. That sensor you have is working very well. Too bad that the humidity got you. That's a big sensor very close to the...
Hi all A few weeks ago I had a go at NGC 281 in Ha and 2 nights ago after being set up and ready to start imaging at 10.30pm the clouds suddenly came over and...
Hey congrats on getting some clear skies lately Gordon  that's a truly excellent target for tricolor emission line imaging. One of my favorites  I know you...
Just yesterday I became aware of a new "bubble nebula" in Cygnus near the Crescent. It is so perfectly round with such a well defined border that it really...
Hi Richard Nice one, I can see why you thought it was a plate defect because my first thought was "Richard has posted a dust doughnut, has he taken leave of...
btw when you dither the images the dust doughnuts tend to be combined out or heavily distorted. That's just one clue to keep in mind when you are seeing...
Hi Richard Looking at the link you just posted, especially the colour image, the bubble looks sureal almost to the point of being artificial. It almost looks...
Hello, I'm new to this group, and would like to ask some advice. OPT have an offer on a SBIG - ST-8XME. As a beginner, with no CCD equipment at all yet, would...
what is the price? the st8xme is a pretty old design that is getting long in the tooth if it is cheap enough it may be a good deal i'd personally be interested...
Hi, Last week brought a few clear nights, but transparency was occasionally compromised by thin cirrus clouds. By using NB-filters for capturing this image I...
Wow, this object is pretty faint, though beautiful in the NB color version of the link you posted. Looking forward to see you version, Gerhard ... near the...
Hi all. I haven't been posting much lately but here are 3 images from August. All 3 images are LRGB where the L channel is several hours of Ha data. The Ha...
Thank you. The sub exposures with the Ha filter are all 60 minutes long with the number of Ha subs varying between 3 for The Bubble, 3 for M-27, and 7 for...
Hi All Well the weather forecast was wrong yet again saying it was going to be cloudy until 4am last night but thankfully I used my reliable method of weather...
nice one Gordon I bet you can stretch the curves a bit and significantly enhance the nebulosity versus the background and show that guy really nicely... your...
nice color balance, focus, tracking etc Gerald I prefer a little less processing though: it looks a bit overprocessed for my taste what does it look like...
Hi Richard, Thank you for the feedback, I got similar ones in other forums.Some people suggest to try a more subtle version, though some like it as it is. I...
Gerhard Try no sharpening at all other than about 1.3 pixel radius unsharp mask in photoshop with the threshold set to 1 pixel I think that will sharpen things...
Richard, Thank you for the suggestion, I will try it. What I like about wavelet filters is the possibility to bring out subtle features, which are otherwise...
Hi Richard Thanks for the comments, I did have a go at stretching it a bit further but due to not using flat fields and short number of subframes the ...
the question I have Gerhard is are the features real? When Juan Conejero first released the wavelets in Pixinsight he asked to be given access to my FIT data...
Hi Richard, Looking at the comparison images in full resolution I wouldn't say that the wavelet filtering introduced 'unreal' features. Everything that's...
