Never previously imaged Leonardo's Nebula! Pic replaced!

Posted By Charles Hakes
Congratulations! Great capture of this new "nebula". I'll bet he gets more imaging than all the others combined over the next few years.

Bubble in Ha

Nice shot. Can you give details on your automation? Program? Did you shift to a brighter star or just use what was in the field? I use the @focus in CCDSoft, but sometimes I "disagree" with it's answer and re-do it to get something better.

My Second Image of 2008

Posted By Charles Hakes
Not bad for such a blown up shot. This really shows off the tracking of your GM8. (unguided!?) I would have expected more color available for the stars with one minute exposures though. (?) Any available?

Nice shot. Colors look well balanced and lots of detail.

Barnard 169

Thats cool. Those dark clouds really eat up the stars.

Ok, NGC6888, Color added

Posted By Charles Hakes
Looks good to me - not sure what you're not happy with. Can't wait for the other narrow bands.

Posted By Charles Hakes
Thanks, Floyd and Jason. This is one of those objects that "just fits".

Ok, how about the Hubble Palette for NGC6888?

Posted By Charles Hakes
That looks good. It is a toss up as to which version I think is more interesting - turquoise or tangerine. I can almost see why the Hubble palette has become popular, though, as those "cool" looking colors might be more "peaceful looking". Like something floating in the sea. You wouldn't want anyone to think anything violent happens in space, would you?

Network Nebula NGC 6992, 6995

Posted By Charles Hakes
Looks great. And I really do like those references to earlier images.

NGC 7380 The Wizard in RGBL (NEW Image)

Posted By Charles Hakes
I agree - nice image, nice colors. (I do like colors on the stars.) It almost looks like there is some dark nebulosity going on there too. I don't know if that is something more time would show?
