I finally got off my duff and traveled to dark skies the past couple of weekends to image. Here's the first of many galaxies I captured. All shots with the Meade SN-10, Atik16HR, AP1200. Each photo represents 45-60 minutes of exposure captured in 4-5 min subs. Averaged, gradient removal, digital development and stretched all in AstroArt 4.0.

M106

Enjoy,

David

David,

What a fantastic smorgasborg of galaxies you've provided us with! Yes, RGB would be great, but this is a killer set of images you've already turned up! Take your time, even if it does take years to get the RGB for all, but you've created a fantastic gallery of galaxies to start off with.
