Posted By Paul Maxson
Hi all,

I'm still finishing my planetary images from April, almost done only one more Saturn set to go. This set turned out pretty nice I think.

Hi all,

Nearing the end of my Saturn run with another one from early May. I need to remember to use the 610nm red filter more next year!!

Hi all,

About 2 or 3 Saturn left to process. Seeing was decent for this one. My last 3-4 images and I FINALLY learn how to get the crepe ring. **chuckle**

M13

Posted By Paul Maxson
Hi all,

Second light with my Starshoot camera on M13. I did 30 exposures of 10 seconds each (10x30). The image was processed with Nebulosity and came out ok, but I see now that the exposures should have been at least 30 seconds each. I corrected that in later imaging.. Unfortunately, we are having lots of clouds and storms here in Arizona so all I can do is plan the next session.... **chuckle**

Jupiter May 21 and 24

Posted By Paul Maxson
Hi all,

Two of my better images of Jupiter this year, especially since Jupiter isn't very high out here.

H-a filter

Posted By Paul Maxson
Just out of curiousity, what H-a filters do you folks use for those really great images?

Thanks!!

My best M57 so far!

Posted By Paul Maxson
Hi all,

I am not done with this image yet, but close...that's why there is no labeling, etc. I'm pretty proud of the way this turned out. It was shot with my Mewlon250 at F/7.5 with an Orion Starshoot camera. I shot 10x60 and 20x30 images, minor post processing in Maxim DL. DSO is getting addictive! Shot from my back yard with limiting mag of about 4.

Neptune/Triton

Posted By Paul Maxson
Hi all,

Well, y'all got the teaser. Yes, the Starshoot is a planetary camera when it comes to shooting faint planetary moons. Here is a shot of Neptune/Triton. The Starshoot image is on the left, to the right is from StarryNight. Actually, I found it surprisingly easy. Uranus is next!

The Cat's Eye Nebula

Posted By Paul Maxson
Hi all,

Here is a shot of NGC 6543 (The Cat's Eye Nebula). It sure doesn't match up to the HST image I was looking at, but I guess it will pass.... **smile**. Comments and suggestions welcome.

Tonite I am hoping to tackle M27!!
