M108

This is 9 5-minute images combined and sharpened with Lucy-Richardson deconvolution in CCDSoft. I used values of 1, 32, and 4 for sigma, iterations, and kernel. I generally prefer to use the largest useful sigma (up to 1), and go with many iterations rather than a large kernel size.

Taken with C14, ST-1001E, Paramount ME in New Mexico.

Close ups like this, I find more interesting scanning around looking at all the tiny background Galaxies. Amazing to me how these mounts track such high focal lengths.
Nice images Ron..
