Hi Folks-- Here is my attempt with IC410. I found this one really hard to process- -I still have so much to learn (so what's new?) IC 410 (The Tadpoles) from...
Hello! Here is an attempt at the Rosette Nebula in Narrowband color with my new ST10xme. Imaged with my TOA130 and ST-10 XME and NJP Temma mount. Imaged on...

Hi Richard-- Its convoluted but here is my "usual" NB workflow: 1. dark subtract and align in Maxim 2. normalize, data reject and mean combine the masters in...

Hi Richard--- Normally I wouldn't do much with the SHO master efore adding the ha for Lum other than some levels and curves but if the exposure time was...
you lose the detail when you smooth and do the noise reduction  you then attempt to retrieve the detail by using Halpha for luminance.  unfortunately the...

as I mentioned earlier today, using Halpha for a luminance layer is not very sensible for a tricolor emission line image using [SII]/Ha/ [OIII] for the R,G,B...
Sorry Richard, but I could not open the file after downloading it: It could be only me, but I'd be curious to see the document as the subject is extremely...

Thanks Richard. I'm still hoping the weather clears here (it has been terrible for months now: I'll have to fight giant spiders whenever I'll be able to open...

Self-admitted problems with their self-guided cameras. I recall their spokesman has denied these were issues in the past, but now they admit they are...
I'm just glad there are still companies out there trying to push the envelope in our hobby. I've seen few things come out that are perfect on the first run....
I am delighted to see new products too I like it when the companies sort of acknowledge the warts in their products when you discuss it with them and don't try...
I can't test this because of weather and other committments, but here's what I'm wondering- I have a 2" IR blocking filter, and the usual NB suspects in my...
if the filters are truly narrowband bandpass filters there's little benefit in placing the NIR cut filter into the system Bob The only benefit *MIGHT* be in...
Hi all Finally managed to get out and do some imaging last night, not completely problem free though, after about an hour during a long session from 7pm to 7am...
Hi all Ok, so it isn't the owl and the pussycat but I couldn't resist a play on words. I have never tried M97 before and as a planetary nebula I knew it would...
I posted replies to both of your images yesterday but I guess Yahoo had some issues because the posts bounced. The Owl has a nice outer ring that is seldom...
Hi Richard Thanks for that, I will be going deeper with this subject and also with a smaller chip camera such as the H9 when I get it later this year. Just out...
