Nicely done Tyler. It is cool to see this object in monochrome.

Ooh, tough to shoot this one at f/11.2 but it turned out great. Nice one Greg.

Greg,
This is a rally nice image. I think you nailed the colors. When some of us fellas up North try to do this, it is low on the horizon and due to atmospheric extinction, the colors come out red. I have applied extinction factors as gain adjustments to the RGB signal. It helps,but I think your image shows that it is much better if you don't have to deal with this.

Great job.

Tyler,
You are right, the full rez image is quite nice.

The Black Eye galaxy is pretty neat too.

Very Nice Greg. I like the color you got on the galaxy itself.

NGC 4261 - NGC 4281 region with the David Levy MN1

Posted By Jim Thommes
Thanks for the comments folks. I am going to work with this setup (along with some of the refractors - 80 mm and 66 mm). I think I will be putting the C8 with its longer focal length away as we leave galaxy season and approach nebula season. Who knows, I might get used to the flattened refractor fields and this relatively flat MN field and have trouble going back to the C8.

NGC 6888 with AP130 F8.35

Jeff,
Looks pretty good. Yeah it's tough shooting 7nm Ha through f/8.35 optics with this object. But as you say, the guiding is working well.
