M27 -- my version with depth

Posted By Thomas V Davis
Here is my version of M27 with hours of H-alpha data. I've been wanting to get this done for quite some time.

Let me know what you think.

Cygnus wall

Posted By Thomas V Davis
I was waiting for my target to rise last night so I thought I'd do a few quick frames of the Cygnus wall. This is a quickly processed, short total exposure time image of this star forming region in the North America Nebula.

It needs more work.........

Posted By Thomas V Davis
I am working on the Helix Nebula. This is what I've got so far. I need to work on it a little more............ I hope you don't mind, but I'll repost after some more work.

Crescent or Croissant?

Posted By Thomas V Davis
Here is the Crescent Nebula in Cygnus. The weather has foiled by attempts to get Ha data so I used some old AP data taken last year, and I could only get some quick color data this year. It needs more color to be richer, that is for sure. Still, it has some decent filament detail in the center. Specs are below. I combined them with Registar.

Bubble Region wide field in H-alpha

Posted By Thomas V Davis
Here's a quick H-a of the region surrounding the Bubble Nebula. I wanted to see what I could catch in the area in a short amount of time.

Another go at the Iris Nebula.......

Posted By Thomas V Davis
I decided to have another go at the Iris Nebula; this time rotating the camera to better see all the schmutz up there. I left the background a little lighter than usual to better see the dust. It's the same target as Dan's fine image; mine's just a little wider FOV.

M33 -- just goofing around

Posted By Thomas V Davis
I'm not even close to being done with this one, but I thought I'd post an early image.

I'll repost if I can get the other added data I want.

M33 after more data -- It looks like fireworks!!

Posted By Thomas V Davis
Sorry to bore you guys, but here is M33 after more data -- A little more disk detail and a little smoother.

M33 HaRGB

Posted By Thomas V Davis
Here's my attempt at adding H-alpha data into my previously imaged M33. The H-a data was 180 minutes unbinned.

It posed some processing challenges; I'm not sure i've got it right yet. The histogram looks balanced however. I'll likely play with it some more.


Comments/criticisms welcome.

M27 revisited

Posted By Thomas V Davis
I got a new monitor for my computer today. AFter getting it calibrated with my Pantone spyder I decided to rework my M27 data from this summer. I think this version is better.
