Hi All,
Here is another image taken on the 17th of Jan., 2005. I had some real processing issues with this one and with some indepth discussions with a fellow, more experienced Astro imager, we are suspecting that the 3.3 focal reducer on my 12" LX200 may not be a good fit. Let me know what you all think (in the mean time, I have ordered a 6.3 FR). Image Specs as follows:
Meade 12" LX200 @f/3.3
Lumicon 13nm Ha filter
ST-7ME,guided using internal guider
10x10 minute exposures.
Mag. 4 at best, as I am in a Eastern subburb of San Diego
Flats and darks calibrated in MaximDL
Processing done in Photoshop CS
Thanks,
Don Spencer
