Hi all. Here is M53 from the night before last. This one was hard to process, but I think it turned out OK. This is a crop at full resolution.
Cheers,
Tyler

Very nice!
Great color in the cluster.
Looks a tad dark but that might be my moniter.

Nice image Tyler.

There are some Ha objects out there - but they are pretty dim. Sh2-190 is at about 9hrs RA. Or, you could wait 'til 2:00 AM and have your fill with the summer Milky Way.

Thanks for the comments guys. Here is a version that I like better. I think the first version was way too dark. It always takes me a few tries to get it right..... oh well!
Cheers,
Tyler
