Tom
Very nice indeed. Please post Eric's image processing workflow. I could benefit from seeing how it's done. What scope/mount/camera did you use?

NGC 253

Louie,
Looks fine to me. There's lots of dark lane detail in your image. I'd be very happy with this result from my SXV H9.

Yet another Pacman!

Posted By Rob Mackie

Now that's a nice Pacman! Maybe after I do another 15 or 20 iterations I'll get here. Great stuff.

Okay, burst my bubble...

There's nothing to burst. Looks fine to me. Compare it to my HA bubble done with a 5" apo at

M15

Jason,
I like your M5 processing, especially that you haven't obliterated the core. It shows the object in context and doesn't have that artificial look that some globular astrophotographs display.

M1~reprocessed

Jason
Excellent detail in your M1, though it still doesn't look like a crab to me. Wait a minute, it DOES look like crab after all. Nice work!

IDAS LPS & M42, a quick comparison

Posted By Rob Mackie

Ivan
Very helpful indeed. I use an IDAS LPS except when doing HA and your test confirmed there's no reason to stop doing so...at least until I become much better at processing gradients.
