Hi all,
Here is one of the images I took last time out.
I still have not figured out why I cannot get my fits images to open so what I did was darks in ccdops and then converted all my files to tiffs.
My eyes now look like this 8O
My camera/scope/reducer combo really doesnt do this object justice but I thought I would give it a try grin

Let me know how this displays,it is the first image I processed in photoshop.

Tec 140 at f5.6
ST-2000xcm
G-11 on a pier

Comments,suggestions always welcome.
Thanks for looking
Jason

Looks good to me, Jason! I've never tried the Pleiades yet (not counting last Monday's attempt with the Moon occulting them) because of my NABG camera. One of these days I'll give it a shot anyway.
