NGC6888 Wide Field HAlpha

Deep and wide, I like it.
Got any particulars on the scope and camera?

Globulars of NGC5907 and a Quasar

Posted By dan kowall
That's turned into quite a nice project for you.
You've dug some faint treasures out of your bright sky.
Well done,

Foursome from a Sony consumer camera

How much fun is that!
Were there any calibration frames involved, e.g. darks and flats?

The AstroMart FORUMS - What I like and HATE!

Posted By dan kowall
I'm not a big fan of the thumbnail images.
They're too tiny to impart any useful information but when I click on 'photos' to change the setting it changes the ordering of the ads by the date they were posted. That's the function of the 'posted' button, I believe.
In addition, sometimes some of the thumbnails disappear but not all.
Is it possible to delete the thumbnails without messing up my other settings?

M81-82 intergalactic

Posted By dan kowall
You've really pulled out the deep stuff, Roland.
Impressive to say the least.
My only quibble would be some faint dark rings around a few of the brighter stars.
Processing artifacts?
Capturing this intergalactic cirrus would have been thought impossible for amateurs not that long ago. What's that advertising slogan from years past "You've come a long way, baby"? It certainly applies here.
My best regards,

M81-82 intergalactic

Posted By dan kowall
It's interesting to compare your image with today's (Wednesday) APOD.
The cameras are certainly different, and it's a color image, who knows what the imager's processing skills are, but it's 25 hours of exposure from a 12" scope.
I'd say your 'snapshot' shows more of the galactic cirrus.
As I said before, pretty impressive.
That 160 EDF looks to be a real performer. I bet that you could find customers for that scope should you ever decide to sell a version of it.

Wow!
And a shout-out for the NGC 7000 image, too.

It was worth the time that you spent on it.

Omega Centauri

Posted By dan kowall
That was a well spent 12 minutes.
I still get goose bumps when looking at a fine image of Omega Centauri, not as many bumps as visible stars but enough to put me in a state of wonder.
You're going to have some fun with that Southern Hemisphere scope, Roland.
