Two terrific images in one night! I really like the star colors on this one.

I'd be beyond just happy to have that shot! Print that and put it on your wall.

Hans,
I generally first go to a bright star to get rough focus down visually on screen. Once I get to my target and have filters in place I'll use the focus routines in AstroArt. It is far easier on my small refractor with fine focus knob than on my SCT with image shift! Also, if you are using filters, remember to refocus with each one.
Have fun,
Larry

That sure would be a keeper for me! You really brought out good detail and color.

Jason,
First off, I can't believe that season is upon us! And I think you've got a real good one, too. It's certainly a bright enough object not to need much time. Plus your color work is terrific!

Dan,
Always fun to go back to data! Nice one on a rarer subject--and I wish I could get my star fields to look like that!

Rob,
Looks like you have it figured out pretty good! That's an excellent image. Would love to see it full res, or is this shot binned?
Great going,
Larry
