Hi Jason.
I thought the image came out well. Quite nice in fact! I can't see any evidence of processing struggles. Admittedly my monitor tends to be a little dark, but I thought it could stand a bit more stretch. Noise looked to be well under control. It would be nice to see a higher rez version.....

Nice one Tyler. Interesting effect on Propus.

IC410 Tadpoles

Posted By Jim Thommes
Roland,
Nice pic. I like the composition, I have never seen the tadpoles as the primary subject of an image.

BTW, I usually start complaining when I am out in *plus* 20F. My preference is a nice 55F for observing - but I only get that about half the year here. grin

IC 1848

Jared,
I think the image came out real nice. Amazing what the H-Alpha can do on an object like this.

I presume since you could not detect a nebula in your luminance that you could also not detect it in your Red exposures? So I am assuming you added some Ha signal to Red?. Seems like you have done a good job preserving star colors.

Very nicely done Greg! I like the details, star depth, and color.

Vela SNR - small portion

Tom,
Very cool image. With Narrowband filter, it seems like one can open up new vistas on familiar objects (well, this one is not so familiar to everyone).
