NGC7331

Haven't posted in a long time. We got internet access and have spent a while getting things to be able to operate remotely. This is one of the first done totally while sitting at home via Logmein.

I am always curious as to what the colors look like on your monitors. Every time I look at what I have processed on a different monitor, I want to go back and re-process. (There is getting to be quite a queue for re-processing.)

I took this horizontally, but while processing kept having to twist my neck to get the galaxy upright... Anyone else have those sort of problems.

Clear skies,
Charlie

Hi Charlie,
Congratulations on remote operation! Operating remote is a major accomplishment. There are few things that compare to the feeling of the first successful remote operation and data download. For me it is akin to the first look through a telescope or as an ATMer my first look or image through a scope I've made by hand.

The galaxy is beautiful, processing is nicely done.

I have a spectrophotometer I use to calibrate my monitor that generates a profile, I update the profile every few of months. I do similar things while processing looking at the monitor from various angles and leaving the room for a while to return for a fresh look or setting the image aside for a while and returning fresh. For me its a "through back" to the wet chemistry photography days.


Again congratulations on remote operation!...

Regards,
Dave

Liked your image!

Clears,
Joe

The only thing I see is that the RGB colors don't line up quite right from top to bottom. MaximDL can fix that.
