Hello all. We had decent conditions again last night.... although the moon was pretty bright during the late hours. At any rate, I tried the crab for the first time ever, and it turned out OK. I used the Extender-Q on my Tak Sky90 to get a litle more image scale. I would like to try this with the 4X Powermate as well, but that will need to wait for another day. This is 25 minutes (5x5min) of Luminance data, which I used as G and B channels. Then I added 20 minutes of Red (4x5min) as a red channel. It turned out OK, I think. If I get more time I would like to add separate G and B channels to the data, but from what I have seen of the Crab, I don't think it would change the final image much. Questions and comments are always welcomed. I am in the learning process.
Cheers,
Tyler

Wow! This is great, Tyler. But it's a Bonefish not a crab. Oops, wrong image, I needed to page down wink

Nice shot! - Cal
