Hi all. I just took a first cut at processing 2x10-minute frames taken with the Epsilon 160 from my light polluted back yard. I took some flats to help with the vignetting and light pollution problems and they really seemed to help ease the processing. I would like to try to frame these objects differently for a real image, but this was just a first cut to see what was there. Let me know what you think.
Cheers,
Tyler

Tyler,
Pretty cool image. And congrats on the M13 too. Looks like the new scope is a keeper.

Tyler,
What I think is you have captured amazing detail in some pretty far off galaxies! There is a lot to look at in that image.
