Nicely done. The SN is really prominent when compared to the DSS image.

Tyler,
I think the amount of stretch is fine, yeah, the brigter stars will show some filter reflection, but the nebulosity is great. Color is super as well.

NGC 604 in M33 - AP 130 F8.35 vs NP-101 F5.4

Posted By Jim Thommes

Jeff, Interesting comparison. Is my understanding correct that the slower AP image data was at half the exposure time of the NP-101?

Dietmar,
This is a way cool image. I am most impressed with the large version which IMHO is the best way to view this image.
