Hubble Pallette M16

Jason,
The image came out great. You have true tri-color data in the narrowbands - the processing came out quite nice.

Dietmar,
Nice to hear from you again. Seems like your imaging has taken up right where you left off (except for the new equipment). Nice job with the scope and image.

My attempt at PN G75.5+1.7 with 8" ASA

Hi Tyler,
Yep, I can see the bubble more clearly in the full res close up. I do like the second pass image better.

Nice one Robert.

It seems you have good data that might take a little more of a stretch?

Is my Ring too pink?

Posted By Jim Thommes

Lou,
I like the image. the color might be a bit pink. I think it would not seem as pink if the underlying luminance was increased in contrast and perhaps lowered a bit.

Nice image Bob. I think it could accept a bit more stretch.

Nice one Greg. I like the close up view of this image. Many times this is shot in a wider field. This view shows great detail.
