My Frist Image of 2008; M13

Posted By Jim Thommes

Joe,
Looks really good. Given this image is a crop and enlarge, your focus looks really good. Do you use PC capturte focus software like DSLR Focus or ImagesPlus?

Tyler,
Cool image. And very interseting. I recently took an image of this area and had no idea of what I was imaging. Now I know.

Bubble in HaRGB

Nice Jason.
Hard to tell which one I like best. I like aspects of both, but I think I tend toward the first image a bit - mainly because the stars seem a little less intense.

Oh, I also meant to say - I wish I had your focus issues instead of my focus issues;>). (You seem to have dealt much better with yours.)

Peter, Nice image.
That lens looks pretty attractive. It is always nice to see other's successful result before taking the plunge on a lens.
