First light from OZ

5 minutes?! Wow. What happens when you spend some time?

Does the sky really go backwards there?

Rho Ophiuchi

Posted By Charles Hakes
Nice shot. There sure is a lot of stuff going on in that region. So, was your adapter made of metal or PVC?

NGC 6621/22 - Arp 81

Posted By Charles Hakes
That's pretty good. And only 5 minutes?! That suggests to me something to try for a longer time, and maybe binned 2x2? I'll bet lots of stuff that shows up in the Hubble version can start to sneak out with your scope/camera. Thanks for posting.

NGC7129 region in Cepheus

Posted By Charles Hakes
That is pretty cool. I'll second that 3D comment. Makes perception of front/back more apparent.

Spiral Galaxy NGC 5033

Posted By Charles Hakes
Yes, it is nice. I don't think you loose too much with 2x2. And good to see the progress from the earlier shot. But which one is backwards, as they seem to be mirror images of each other?

Nice collection there. Sounds like a really busy night if you ALSO got some more.

M57 LLRRGB

Posted By Charles Hakes
Wow. Really deep. I love all that background stuff that doesn't usually show up.

M3 reprocessed, need your comments please

Posted By Charles Hakes
That is a very pleasing looking image, but I also wonder if there is more stuff hidden in the background. How did you chose the color balance? If anything it looks a bit blue for what I think a globular would be. I have had mixed results using just RGB, but I haven't tried it in a while and I hope my processing is getting better with time, so maybe it is time I re-explore that.
