Those look great. Good luck on getting some more clear skies.

Centaurus A

I agree - nice shot. This is one where I would like to "see" those radio lobes.

GUM 15

Nice - you can see stuff throughout the FOV. But I agree it could use more time to bring it out more.

(OT) Have you seen the AP 3600 GTO in person?

Posted By Charles Hakes
Hmmm... right maneuvering... still not sure how to fit it in the trunk of the Neon...

Do you really need a fork lift to help set it up, or does it just looks like it? And yes, the scope DOES look small...

Splinter or Knife Edge Galaxy

You got a really nice version. (That APOD must have involved some serious time and image stretching - too bad they don't report imaging and processing details.)

NGC 6188 narrowband

Great shot. I think you got the color balance just right.

Omega Centauri from Texas Star Party

Nice shot. (I wish that was higher in the sky.)

Messier 5 - with insects and all....

Posted By Charles Hakes
Nice image - tiny stars all the way to the middle. (But I don't SEE the bugs...)

M51, reprocessed, some input from others!

Posted By Charles Hakes
That's a really nice image. I think the color balance is great - your tweaking is down to the level of monitor differences and personal preferences.

Ok, M51 reowrked with colors tamed a bit.

Posted By Charles Hakes
This version is great too. I almost like the slightly oversaturated colors a bit better. I agree that the new one looks a bit more natural, but it doesn't jump at you as much. I do have a different comment though- I think that image needs to be flipped vertically to show up as it is in the sky. Yes?
