Jeff, Robert,
Thanks for the comment on the image.

NGC 6188 narrowband

Posted By Jim Thommes
That's a pretty dramatic image Tom. Nicely done. I think despite any perceived shortcomings you think you have on narrowband imaging and processing, you appear to be climbing the learning curve rapidly.

Omega Centauri from Texas Star Party

Alex,
That's a pretty nice capture. Its a tough target even in the Southern USA.

M51 re-start

Posted By Jim Thommes
Nice start Charlie! Ditto Jason's comment on a little deconvolution or sharpening.

The image looks great Floyd.

Splinter or Knife Edge Galaxy

Thanks for the comments folks.

Charlie, R Jay did an image in 2006 where there is just a hint of the halo feature and he provided some exposure details on that image...

M13, just a start

Posted By Jim Thommes
Floyd,
It looks pretty good to me. I'd say that if you don't already have an M13 of this quality, I would get the color and finish it.

IC 2948

Posted By Jim Thommes
That's a super image Tom. You are inspiring me to get a set of narrowbands. But if I do that I guess I will have to commit longer on a given object (not like me to do so, Hmmm....).

My take on the chicken is that you have it rotated 180 degrees. If you do the rotation you will see a chicken running with its head cut off. IC 2872 is his head falling off. My 2 cents worth.

M51 re-start color

Posted By Jim Thommes
Looking pretty good Charlie. I think you have good color data. More Luminance? Well, its pretty darn good as it is, but getting more data is always good. You can always decide later whether or not to use it.
