Very nice. Looks like that Sigma lens is working great.

Bubble Soap nebula in Cygnus

Great image. Those stars are definitely pinpoints here. Glad everything was working for you.

M16 and M17 (Very Wide Field)

Very cool. Lots of possibilities with all these different focal lengths on some of these objects.

Pelican Ha with ASA N8 - 290 minutes

Posted By Charles Hakes
I like the result. Always the question about longer subs... If you knew ahead of time that things would work out all night, I would have guessed that 20 minutes would be better even if you lost a couple of frames. Someone correct me if I am wrong, but isn't one good 20 minute frame better than 2 just as good 10 minute frames? (I just wish I could take any longer exposures on a regular basis.)

NGC 4647 from Hubble (not a release image)

Posted By Charles Hakes
That sounds like a fun project. Could help one realize how much goes into the images even with the best equipment.

7 Hr's of NGC 6888

Posted By Charles Hakes
Nice - I like all the background nebulosity showing through as well. Did you process with flats, or is that a natural intensity falloff in the corners?

NGC6960 in Ha OIII OIII with SXVF-H16 and ASA N8

Very nice. Great details. The color combo make me think I need to grab the 3D glasses though. wink

NGC 6888 - 18 x 10 min Ha

Posted By Charles Hakes
This is a nice version. Great "first" image. Since I had to go look up what a TCF was, I will have to ask if you think the temperature compensation feature is useful and how much calibration you had to do to get it to compensate correctly.

Just to compare, this should be a link to my post in 2008. http://www.astromart.com/forums/viewpost.asp?forum_post_id=610101

The Bubble from LAAS

Posted By Charles Hakes
Excellent work here. (Third image! Wow.) Lots of detail, without even an H-alpha for the red.
