M22

Hi,
This is just a grayscale image of M22 I shot a few nights back.
I was originaly intending to shoot some color for the Luminance of the Pacman nebula I got awhile back.With clouds rolling in I decided to try and get a quick shot of M22 before it clouded over,I didn't make it
My Green and Blue were ruined by the clouds,I am cursed!

This is Luminance and the Red combined,75 minutes total.
Maybe I can get the Green and Blue soon.

Vixen VC200L and STL 11000

Cropped a bit and reduced to 40%

Thanks for having a look,

Jason

hi Jason,

I`m sorry to learn about weather conditions - sounds very familiar to me...
nevertheless it was a speldid idea to point at m22 you sure made the very best out of the situation!
a very nice cluster shot!
worth to get the colors - may your sky become clear!

No you're not. You just have the same luck as the rest of us!!

Beautiful image though.

Gee that's really very good.

Does the VCL cover the whole of the
STL11000 without vignetting and coma?
Or did you have to crop to get rid of some coma and vignetting
which would be a common problem with a lot of scopes and the STL11's
large chip.

There aren't many scopes that can cover it.

Spectacular image Jason! I know all about the curse....
Cheers,

Hi Jason,

Looks good to me! Thanks for posting even when your dataset is not complete. I'm going through a phase of holding off until I have a "complete" data set (see how many images I've shared lately?). I'm still thinking of a VC200L, and I've been wondering about diffraction spikes. Yours look pretty good.

Eric

Thanks all for your kind comments!

PS. It's still cloudy!
