My Favorites

Greg,

That's a very fine group of images smile

I like all of them.
The Venus transit shot with the jet is very cool! Was that one one of those "happy accidents"?

I think the more one images the higher the standard they begin to set and some of the images start to not meet our expectations,which is good I believe as it makes us improve.

I was checking out your equipment pages and all I can say is WOW 8O You have put together an amazing collection of gear!

Excellent work,

Jason

These two are hard to get tired of Tyler wink

I think it's looking great,maybe a bit dark but that could just be a difference between our monitors.

Hi Jeff,

Whoa! 30 minute subs,what made you decide to go that long,do you have very dark skies?
It looks very good and you picked up some good resolution but I am suprised there is not more color in there.
Have you tried boosting the saturation up during processing?
You may also want to look and make sure you did not clip the white and black points.

Good work,

Jason

Brrrr,sounds cold!
I know what you mean though,I sometimes forget all about my 1200 because it just works perfect all the time!

Sweet M109! As Eric pointed out the core seems a bit bright but that is an easy fix. Some sharpening would probably help to bring out all the nice little details you picked up in the arms.

Hi Jim,

I think your correction did great because it looks fantastic!

I have seen some pretty good deals on the first generation Astrodons filters in the classifieds over the last couple weeks.

Great work on this one Jim,

Jason
