hi friends,

since we have absolutely no chance for imaging due to bad weather I reprocessed the data of ngc 6207:

I took luminance data with the monochrome SXV H16 and added color with my OSC SXV M25C.

I did this cos I could not be certain to have a couple of nights for ha-alpha,r,g,b.

it was a test to see, if the data from these different CCDs might be combinable. luckily it worked...

here we are:
http://www.stargazer-observatory.com/6207.html

data:
Date: 13.7.2007 - seeing 6/10; transp. 7-8/10

Scope: 9" TMB Apo f/9 SXV H16 (f/7 SXV M25C)

CCD: SXV H16 2,5 h luminance; SXV M25C 2,8 h for colors

Software: AstroArt4 image acqu. guiding, preprocessing. Also Maxim DL for luminance data

Processing: postprocess. PS CS2 and Pix InSight LE

thanks for looking everyone!

Great detail on such a challengingly small object!

Hi Dietmar,
That looks fantastic!
Your processing really brings out those faint fuzzies 8O

The detail in the galaxy is great too!

Beautiful Diets!

Dietmar,
Too bad about the weather...

The image is great. I especially like the M13 / 6702 combination.

Beatiful, Diets! Nice to see it by itself away from its more glamorous companion!

It's good to see NGC 6207 take center stage in an image, Dietmar.
Wonderful processing on this one.
