M 78 in Orion

Posted By Richard Keppler

Very pretty indeed. Macjec, you are another astrophotographer who brings out the best in contrasting objects and formatting/framing.

M-78 reprocessed

Posted By Richard Keppler

Exceptional! Nice colour and the saturation gives it a realistic look and feel. Very nice indeed! I think your
site is better than a lot of us have!\

M-13 three years of data

Posted By Richard Keppler

A superb result Floyd. My favourite object to observe since it is easy to locate. I can see it naked eye from a reasonably
dark site and it just gets better with increasing aperture and magnification. What a gorgeous image and fantastic low-key
processing. It looks almost exactly like what one would see in the eyepiece of a large aperture short focal length telescope
on a night of the best in transparency and seeing. Definitely a keeper!

September objects

Posted By Richard Keppler

Floyd,

All four are nice but I am really partial to LDN-1355 VDB-7/9. I hope you can grab some more data on this one to bring out more of those subtle blue-grays and increase the contrast. Your processing is restrained and the results are quite superb as a result. I like LDN-1355 VDB-7/9 so much I just might make that my laptop background if you don't mind.
