Some summer Ha goodies

I imaged in terrible conditions with the SV80S for about a week on the west slope of the Sierras and only got a few images. Each night transparancy was a 1 out of 5 with intermittent bands of cirrus moving through on a regular basis, so every image was fairly noisy with bloated stars, and trying to get RGB data was futile. Image details are at the bottom of each page.....

thanks for looking, Vince

Vince,
Really nice images given your conditions. But it is amazing what can be done in wide field and Ha under poor conditions. Had you not mentioned the conditions, I would not have guessed from the images!

I really like the field and framing of your Propeller, I have seen it done in a narrower field and I had done it narrower as well. Seeing your image makes me want to go back to this object again with this broader perspective.

Vincent all great work mate ! and some I've never seen before thanks for posting them.

All are well done!

Tom

they all look great Vince and are ready for color when conditions get better.

They all show good composition, Vincent, and your processing skills have counteracted the bad weather conditions.
In other words, they're all keepers!

I'm a little late for this party, Vince (fashionably? ). Nice set of images you have there. Color data will make them all knockouts.
