Looks good Mike,

It does appear to have a bit of a greenish cast to it,more Blue would probably help wink

Did your Blue get ruined by clouds?

First real image ST2k, TV102

Not a bad result at all Floyd smile

I have tried shooting this one before with pretty poor results,I think it is a tough target for smaller scopes.

Congrats on your new setup,should be a real winner!

My M33 from last night

Excellent image Floyd,maybe seems a bit purple on my monitor but very nice.

Those Lomo 80mm lenses are fantastic!

Sweet image Eric,

I like both but the Ha does add some "pop" to it!

I have been using an Idas filter for most the year,my skies continue to worsen as they keep building all around me,I think it has helped improve my images in the conditions I shoot in.Seems to help keep the gradients to a more manageable level.

Man,that is a ton of exposure time,you were not messing around!

Simply fantastic image Tom 8O

I too can clearly see the Vulture head.
Your processing shows off all the delicate structures so well.

You have become a master at these dusty places that are ignored by most!

And again... M33

Posted By Jason Boyce

I think thats a great shot of the core Charles.

Lot's of Blue stars resolved and the little dust lanes even have detail!

You could try some selective sharpening,that could help give more pop,maybe a little more saturation,these are just suggestions based on my preferences.

I think you did well on this,I like it smile

Hi Jim,

Nice,I like how the Ha added depth to the image,bringing out the dark,dusty areas and adding nice detail in the background.

You retained the star colors very well in the cluster too.
