Nice one Louie. There are some wispy threads of dust in it.

Back in action... M95 (preview?)

Charlie,
Nice image. I agree, I think it can take a little bit of sharpening. Nice to hear you are back up and running again.

CG22 in Pyxis

Tom,
Nicely done. I does look like it would be quite a challenge to "tease" this one out from that impressive star field. Very nice.

** Two New Images from Utah **

Tyler,
Nicely done on both images. The horse head is of course the most dramatic, but I like the M46 with the planetaries (one obvious and one not so obvious). Nice job.

M101 (with a little Ha)

Posted By Jim Thommes
Thanks for the comments folks.

I had neglected to mention that I stacked the luminance both with a straight average and with a sigma median combine. I noticed a difference in SNR between the two stacks - quite noticeable actually. I hadn't given that much thought to it before. Anyway, I used both stacks to try to get the best of both stacking methods.

Owl Nebula - Narrowband

Posted By Jim Thommes
Tyler,
Thats a very nice owl. I think the narrowbands show a lot more feature in this object than straight RGBs.
