M27 with 300D

Posted By Gianluca Valentini
Great picture Ludek! I still have to try my 10D on astrostuff, but I see that results are pretty good.

Just one question: is 7 shots of one minute exposure or 1 single 7-minute shot?

Again congratulations.

A piece of Cirrus

Hello Brian,
your picture gives me great hopes: I just received my st2000 color (haven't even had the time to unpack it yet). Did you use any focal reducer?
Are you happy with your camera? I also work mostly under suburban skies, so I really have high expectations from this camera after seeing your experiment.

Thanks for posting.

Another crack at the Eagle

Thanks for posting all these images Bryan. It is the only way I can see how well I spent my money!
I like this picture: I can't wait until I get to use mine. Unfortunately, I had some problems in setting it up as I can't install the USB drivers, so I can't initialize it. It may be another one of Bill Gates' gifts.

Keep on posting Bryan and thanks for the advice you provided in the previous post.

Ultimate M31

Incredible detail Johannes!
In your website you mention that you reduced residual noise using Neatimage. I have a question: I guess that you must have created a noise profile for your camera in order to avoid the problem of finding a noisy area free of relevant data (as far as I know, necessary with Neatimage).
Do you think that a dark frame could be useful in creating a Neatimage noise profile for a specific camera? I thought so because a dark should be the best representation of the typical noise of a camera in a certain defined state. What kind of shot did you use to create yours, if you have created it, of course?

Thanks one more time for sharing this great image Johannes.

Hello Brian.
Great shot you got here!
Is this image processed at all, and if yes, how?

NGC 7000 mosaic

Posted By Gianluca Valentini
This one is the one I like better, so far. Very nice crisp detail. Would you explain a little what you did as far as processing is concerned?

Thanks Brian

Very nice! What scope did you use for this image. Can you give me a little more details about the set up and processing?

Thanks for posting.
