M106 Core - Luminance

Posted By Brian Maynard

You did an excellent job Tyler. Looks almost 3D .Try to trace around the fainter arms with the lasso tool in photosop, then you can take care of the gradients and bring out the faint spiral arms.

Wonderful image. It could also pass as a close up of a golf ball smile

Orion Starshoot camera

Posted By Brian Maynard

DO NOT get an SAC 10. You'll be a pro with the Starshoot before SAC even thinks about shipping you a camera. Unless you dont mind waiting six months to a year for it.

M106 with color

Posted By Brian Maynard

Cal
An excellent image. Very well done. A few post down in the M13 thread, Dan posted a reply with a link to some very good tutorials one of wich is star color. I took your image and followed the steps and it works pretty good. Try it.

NGC5189/The spiral nebula

Posted By Brian Maynard

A very interesting image Louie. Sometimes when my autoguiding is going good and then suddenly CRAP! It's usualy the balance of the mount has shifted. I try to make sure it stays heavy to the east, even when its past the zenith.
