hi,

here's an image of ngc 7331 and friends ( the deer lick group) in Pegasus. Taken with a Takahashi Mewlon 250 at f9 , 1 hr exposure ( 10 min subs) and a ST8E. Reprocessed old data from last year.

Comments welcomed.

clear skies,

Larry Citro

hi all,

Thanks for the nice comments.

Stuart, I have thought about adding color to this. I've imaged galaxies in both monochrome and LRGB and have yet to decide which I like better...I do know I like both. One of my favorite images is a 2hr exposure of m51 taken with a Vixen VCL200.

Another favorite is a LRGB of m82 taken with a Mewlon 250.

I really can't say I like one more then the other. One of the advantages ( for me ) in doing straight LUM imageing is I tend to go deeper and longer with the exposures.

clear skies,

Larry Citro
