105min of THE predatory bird!

Luca,
That's a great star on the project. I'm looking forward to the completed result.

But, more importantly is the eminent blessed event. Best wishes to you and your wife for an safe delivery and healthy baby. (So as an astronomer you will already be used to being up at night as you no doubt will have many sleepless nights to look forward to after the baby arrives.)

M13 from Yosemite

Jared,
Fantastic M13. Good seeing is really the best for the globulars - look like you took full advantage. Good job on the color - the transparancy and the moon were working against you for that.

IC 2574 - rarely imaged...

Posted By Jim Thommes

Dietmar,
This is a super image and it is rarely imaged I think because of the challenges. Congrats to you and Martin.

OK, I decided, NGC 6888, Crescent Nebula

Floyd,
Great image! I would do both emission line and RGB. You could try a synthesized RBG from your emission line data or just take the RGB. After all, we are astronomers, we got nuthin but time.

Eric,
Nice Ring Nebula image.

I would like to hear what you are doing on your G11 - and get your feedback on whats working. I have not been real impressed with my G11 at longer focal lengths.

Very nice Dietmar. Boy, looks like Martin gets some really good date with his setup.
