NGC 2392

Posted By dietmar hager

hi Paul,

You captured the colors very nicely and details are splendid. for those tinyl PN we always need a perfect seeing. I did that nebula with my late 14" SC and my 9" TMB twice and still I know, that there is much more to capture.
best regards

hi Louie,

that image is marvellous!!!
the amount of details is stunning - a jawdropper!!!

NGC-2264 in H-alpha

hi Tom,

this one looks very nice!
perhaps You might wanna reduce the starsize a bit...?
I wish You good luck for the "color-collection" night!
may Your skies be clear soon!

Humble M51 & M78 pics

Posted By dietmar hager

hi Ivan,

You captured the m51 very nicely!
considering the rather short exp.time it is great!
perhaps a bit too hard contrasted in the core region.
perhaps You might wanna try "highlight and shadows" in photoshop to hold these "burning" region down a bit.
best regards

M46 and B-33

hi Paul,

congrats on those very nice images!
Your apo seems to work well! tne cam also, and of course the person who handles them... wink
well done!
the only issue I find is - there isa bit of noise...how many darks did You tkae?
I do not own SBIG cams, but my observatory mate had the same one, and he had to take at least as much darks as lights to create a powerful masterdakr to get rid of the noise...
