The Lobster (Still Shooting Low)

I like the processing here. Just curious - what atmospheric scaling adjustments did you use when combining the RGB?

First light - NGC 6888 in Ha

Posted By Charles Hakes

Good "proof of concept". That little bubble is a challenge.

The Elliptical Globular - M19

Posted By Charles Hakes

That is a good scale - gives you that "lost in space" view. (Color "looks" right too.)

NGC 6888 Ha redo

Posted By Charles Hakes

It is much easier to see this time. I will have to admit I had to really look alongside another image to find it before. Nice.

Iris with AP 130 F8.35

I think the clouds and dust look great, but the stars are a little washed out or too uniform in color. That might get fixed if you add the other RGB, but it could be that the subs are too long? (I wish I had had three clear nights in the last two weeks. This week is looking more promising though.)

Latest Images, NGC 896 & NGC 869

Nice job with those. Do you think throwing in some shorter subs would add color to the brighter stars? Especially on the double cluster - I know with a "blooming" camera those naked eye objects max out in just a few seconds.

Lots of detail and nice, long subs.

Very nice looking.

M20 and M21

That is a nice image scale for the set. And your colors look good.

Great first light. I am sure you will have fun, and yes, send a link to images of the observatory.
