Leo Trio Luminance - from Utah

Tyler,
I like the detail in the luminance. I'd really like to see some color on it - hope you get a chance to get the data.

The Lesser Leo Trio

Thanks for the comments guys...

Also, I wasn't real happy with the appearance of the ellipticals, I thought the cores were a bit blown out (such as they are). I tried a slight adjustment here. Also full size at:

NGC5139 the King of Globs

Louie,
This is great image of this object. I really like this object a lot and only get a limited chance to see this one from my Northerly location.

I am wondering if you see this object higher over the horizion then I do in San Diego. Your image looks a tad red to me - its what it would look like on may data close to the horizon without any compensation for atmospheric extinction on the blues.

Do you get your data "low on the horizion"? Did you attempt to pump up green and blue in the processing to compensate? Just curious.

While work is still a drag, the skies have cleared up a bit, so I've been out a little the last two nights.

Brian, third shift, ouch, that does sound tough.
