NGC 891

Dietmar,
Its nice to hear what you are up to - I don't mind the information in the post at all. Its just unfortunate that your busy schedule and clouds kept you away from your imaging which you do so well. The NGC 891 image is great - lots of super detail.

Nice image Jeff, looks like you have the frame in a mirrored view (horizontally).

Jason,
Cool image. I think you did capture an element of depth in the varying intensities of the signal in the nebulosity. I imagine it may be hard to preserve this with the color unless you get a nice variation in the color tone as well from some deep RGBs.

Those are very impressive images for a "beginner". Well done. I like the color enhanced versions best.

Nice images Jason. I can look at both and convince myself I like one better than the other - then I look back at the other one. The trouble with increasing saturation is that the fatter blue channel stars tends to leave dark star halos in the red channel as you increase saturation.
