Hi All I managed to get out for some imaging last night to complete the first stage of my tri-colour narrowband image of this object. The sky was clear but it...
Hi Gordon, Â perhaps a bit soft, but that is down to the seeing. Â Never the less it is a very fine image, and plenty of detail still remains. Â I should...
Hi All After doing the Ha data on this object a couple of nights ago I managed to get out again last night and shot 27x10 minutes for the OIII. The capture...

Hello all, I test my new guider system with MMOAG from Astrodon witch is customised by a friend for a good backfocus between IMG6303e and TEC140 (I have only...
Hello, I am new to this group, and am new to narrowband imaging. In fact, I'm working on my first narrowband image, a bi-color image of NGC6888 (Crescent...
welcome to the group Joel. I tried to look at your images but they weren't loading. But let me say a few words that may be of some help: I wrote the original...
you can send the raw files to me if you like. Â just the stacked and calibrated images, no processing other than flats/darks/biases. It makes it easier all...
Richard, Thanks for the link to the article, it was helpful. One question about the histograms. You say that the histograms of the OIII and SII channels...
my comment relates to how to make full use of the color gamut available to you it is common to find Halpha many times more abundant in an object than [OIII] or...
I tried using equalize histograms in paint shop pro. It didnt work on the final image jpg, perhaps if I used raw tiffs.....  back to the drawing board  ...
Hi All I finally managed to get the SII data last night to go with the Ha and OIII that I took last week. This was taken over 3 nights on 7th, 9th and 15th...
well that aint half bad gordon, that aint half bad :-) Â very nice. Â i have reverted back to processing old data, barely a clear night in the past month....
Well the summer heat is here again. Last weekend I was at the ranch and fired up the camera for flats and saw my PL39000C and the ST7e both reading +30C as the...
Thanks for commenting Doug  it is a damned if you do and damned if you don't sort of problem  on the one hand the dark shot noise is not too bad even...
I am pleased to share my first narrowband image, NGC6888 in Ha and OIII. Details and the image are here: http://www.buckeyestargazer.net/New%20Image%201.html...
good job there joel. The S[II] for this object is very faint....HaO3O3 makes a lot of sense if clear skies are almost non-existant. Â look forward to seeing...
tonight at the ranch at 8:30pm.... ambient temperature: 88F, 31.1C guide camera: ST7E, ultimate cooling: -2.7C, Delta T from Ambient: 33.8C imaging camera: old...
88F at night!!! Â wow, thats hot. Â i think I'll need to wear suncream at night :-) Â i take it that it cooled further as the wee hours of the morning...
Hi I have tweaked this image slightly as after looking at it several times I felt the greens were a bit "in your face", I'd be interested to know what people...
At the daily low this morning, just before sunrise, it was 79F or 26.1 C I leave the guider set to a temperature colder than it can reach so the operating...
i like the colors better Gordon what does it look like with not so much smoothing? ... From: Gordon Haynes To: narrowbandimaging@yahoogroups.com Sent:...
Hi Richard Thanks for the comments, I will have to reprocess it to see what it looks like without the smoothing as I didn't keep the original tiff file when I...
what isn't true that I said Greg? Has the Apogee group now made the tie-in between the need for RBI management and cooling? They had not when I wrote what I...
