NGC 281

Dan,
Really nice image!

I said on another post that I really like seeing more and more of these narrow band images on the forum. I know you worked hard (or at least long) to get the data. And I'd bet you did the processing with some care and attention.

The result speak for itself.

Tyler,
Cool image. I think I see some of the dark stuff around this object in your image.

Images Toucam

Lovely image.

I have used webcams for DSOs. These cameras always impress with what they can do.

I am curious what was the frame expsure time and the number of images stacked?

M31 with a little color

Tyler,
Color really does ad another dimension to this object and enhances a lot of stuff not readily apparent in B&W.

Nice job with the data and registration across the field. Was the color from a different instrument then the luminance?

Thanks for the comments guys...

Dan
I might try to play with it a little more using your suggestions. I do worry about artifacts and color blotching when I try to pump up saturation on weak data. Perhaps it can take it - I was at f/3.3

You know, I have been lucky with my C8. Actually, I have only columated once. But I did it in a large indoor structure with no air currents using a camera. I tightend things up well and it has held well for me.

My 3rd LRGB image

Posted By Jim Thommes
John,

Pretty impressive. All the more so for a third image. Did you mean you have been imaging for years in B&W and this is your third color? Or is it your third image overall?
