NGC 7380 in H-alpha and Red

Posted By Jim Thommes

Tom, Stuart, others,

I was pleased to see Stuart's color image and I am looking forward to seeing yours Tom.

I also had a go at this image in September. I have attached an image. This was done with my C8 operating at f/2.8 and my modified ToUcam.

I have exposure and processing details and a full size image at:

Mark,
This is an absolutely fabulous image. I really like the way the star Propus came out in this image. Did you need any special processing in that part of the image for this bright star? Or is this pretty much how the image stacked up?

NGC 1877 Reflection Nebula

Posted By Jim Thommes

Well, Thanks to everybody for your kind comments...

Now I have to say I am quite embarrased - my citation is incorrect. The object is NGC1788 (not NGC 1877). I guess that's what I get for staying up late and not getting enough sleep. Sorry.

You may have noticed that I also appear less anonomous - I have a picture of myself for a forum avatar.

Tyler,

Great image. I just love that little ring in this cluster. Although I think it is not *in* the cluster, but only an optical allignment - not sure, do you know?
