Tom,
Absolutely stunning image!!

And so early in the season. I don't know if I have to stay up really late or get up really early to keep up with you guys.

Dan,
Yes indeed a lot of exposure time, but I like the image a lot - congrats.

Jeff, Tyler,
Thanks for the comments...

I think the attachments are dial up friendly because I am on Dial up as well. wink

NGC 1491

Dan,
Great detail on this image. I am impressed you shot this at f/9 - I wouldn't have the patience (or sound enough guiding). I think the f/9 paid of in sharpness on this image.

Did the stars come out a bit green to you or is it my monitor?

Larry,
Nice set of images. Thanks for sharing - this object is not posted that much and you have done a great job with structure detail.

My fovorite is the widefield coilor version.

Thanks for the comment Ivan. I do get attracted to the clusters from time to time. I share them hoping I am not boring to many people.

Which mount should I buy ? EM10 USD, GP-DX + SkySensor2000 or Losmandy G11 ?

Posted By Jim Thommes
Yes, first reaction is the G11. But one other consideration is if you travel to your imaging site or your more or less permanent. I believe the the G11 is the heaviest of the three. My buddy has a G11 - great mount, I'm not sure I could handle the weight (I'm kinda small).

The Baby Nebula - IC1848 Region

Posted By Jim Thommes
Thanks for the comments guys.

I think that many images are either pretty wide field (Heart and Baby) or narrow in on the just the IC1848 portion.

Greg,
It is a remakable image given the short exposure. Congrats. I am also interested in wether or not you can pull out any more resolution of the core. If you are successful, please repost - it would be an interesting comparison.
