First CCD Mono images Comments Please

Posted By Jim Thommes
Craig,
Cool image. The data looks good to me. Seems the equipment is running well. Focus looks good.

The processing looks like you may have set a low white point rather than use a gamma or curves stretch. That makes the stars come out a bit harsh and over sized. Any filters used? UV/IR Block?

That is an outstanding image Jim. Very nice.
When did you get the 8300?
Rick.
Rick,
I got the ST8300M in March of 2010. Ive done 21 images so far. I have to say, I just got a FW5 - I had been using 1-1/4 inch filters and processing out the vignetting.

Jim,
That is a mighty fine image. Panels came out seamless. I like the full size RGB. I know what you mean about M31's orientation. I really needs thte orientaion you gave it for best viewing.
