M83

I reprocessed this starting with the registering of the files and the stretch to eradicate the core burnout.

Worked over with Photoshop CS2.

Is this better than the original?

M3 in B/W, with Orion Starshoot (FIRST LIGHT)

Posted By Greg Bradley

Great start Ivan. Often first time out with new gear you don't get anything!

Hi Louie,

Nice shot. Man you went at it hard - 60 shots!

Looks good.

I like the shots I see with those SXV H9C cameras. They are a nice unit.

Is it hard to process the colours out of it?

Again, very good.

What mount are you using? I take it they are unguided shots as a little bit of star trailing showing.

By the way there is a technique to correct that using photoshop that Roland Christen posted here a few months ago.

Email me direct and I can post what he wrote.

That is very nice processing indeed!

Nice star colours, a yellow and a blue star there and the glob white.

The Embryo Nebula

Hi Dan,

Nice shot.

It seems very red though. Are they hot pixels on your red channel? Perhaps hot pixel repair on your red exposures may help with that or a noise reduction on the red exposures.

I had a shot recently that needs a new exposure in green as the green exposure had some frosting that ended up spoiling the image in the colour combine step.

Cat's Eye and surrounds

Wow, great shot. What a bizzare looking object. I like the alarm clock technique. I may have to use that one!
