Moon mosaic- Canon 10D/ 18" Starmaster

Posted By Don McCrady

Holy shmoly! Nice job. That's a winner when you get around to removing the seams. I found Photoshop does a good job, but I've never tried it with anything so large.

M31 with my digital rebel

Posted By Don McCrady

Ivan... it's a pretty nice image, and in fact you did capture a lot of the blue regions (you can see NGC 206 clearly, and that lies in the blue outer areas of the galaxy). I think you just need more exposures, at least 25 of 2 minutes or longer, and with at least an ISO of 800. It looks like you got faint detail, but not a lot of colour.

M15

Posted By Don McCrady

Really nice job. M15 is one of the most difficult globs because its core is so bright. Great job not burning it out.

Nice image, though I could tell you missed focus a bit on it. Good reprocess, though.

Wonderful. You even got a bit of detail in M110!

Sky 90 first light: Christmas Tree Cluster

Posted By Don McCrady

Wow, great image! I use this scope myself, and even I sometimes don't fully appreciate the FOV it gives.

NGC 1977

Posted By Don McCrady

Nice job showing all the detail in there. If this wasn't so close to m42, it would probably receive more attention than it does.

M81-82 region

Posted By Don McCrady

Beautiful wide-field, but still showing a wealth of sharp detail in the core of M82 and as well in the HII regions of M81. Great job.
