Hi all. Here is some Ha data collected last week. I didn't get enough color data to smooth things out adequately, so I am leaving it out for now. I will add to it and do an LRGB composite later. The night this was taken I was getting extremely low FWHM values. It was a good night to take advantage of the Epsilons great optics. I hope you enjoy the luminance data for now.
Cheers,
Tyler

Hi Tyler,

That shot is inspiring grin

I have recently purchased a new to me E160. I am using a St2000 and would like to ask you what camera your using and whether you are having any problems with reflections. I have posted an image that I am workin on.
