Cederblad 214 and NGC 7822

Wow Eric,what an effort and it paid off 8O

I like all the versions but the Hubble palette is awesome!

Your processing brought out the details and really gives it some pop while transitioning into the fainter portions nicely.

I'm not sure why the histogram would look clipped on this other than maybe a stacking artifact around the edges.Did you try cropping just a few pixels around the edges?

Great job and a great image,

Hi Jim,

Great image and a very interesting object,one I don't recall seeing before.

The center of the nebula does look a bit like a profile shot of a wicked witch!

Flaming Star and Friends in Ha

Hi Dean,

That's really a beautiful image,what a FOV!
My last couple of images have been close ups of the Tadpoles and IC 417,your image puts this area in perspective nicely.

I hear ya on the seeing,I am about 60 or so miles South of you,it has been terrible for awhile now.Seems the jetstream has made itself at home over us :C

Well done Jim.
I spotted lots of galaxies hiding in there.

This is a large improvement on your earlier attempt,I enjoy being able to see your progress.

IC410 The Tadpoles in Ha

Posted By Jason Boyce

Hi Larry,

That is very good!
I think you captured an amazing amout of detail for a 66mm scope.
Your processing has given it a good amount of depth without looking to harsh.
The smoother version you have posted looks good too but I do prefer this one smile

Nice job!
