Hi,
I had some rather good conditions on Thursday and tried to take advantage of them.
I spent part of the evening playing with guider settings and thought I had it figured out but I think I ended up going to soft on the settings so this image has some elongated stars,doesn't look to bad at half size though :S

Here are rhe specs.
LRGB
L-180sx17 RGB 180sx10 each,all binned1x1
Tec140 at F7 ST-2000xm

I sharpened this up a lot,hope I didn't go to overboard!
I tried to get some of the stars near the core to become Orange but kept ending up with Pink so I just left them alone.

Thanks for looking,

Jason

Hi Jason,
I think that it is an excellent image of M3, just awesome. I don't think that it is over sharpened at all for a Globular cluster. It looks perfect.
