Rosette Nebula - SH2-275

And under the street light too. Nice. You will have to keep that 106.

Nice to see that unusual target in Orion, too.

New processing on Pickering's Triangle

Posted By Charles Hakes
i do like the more subdued colors. However, this is one of those things that is very monitor dependent. Every time I look at something I have processed on a different monitor, I want to go back and re-do it.

A nice field and great processing of what looks like only a little bit of time.

Looks like you got good color correction. Yes, it certainly is a challenge. (Right now I am dealing with correcting for smoke.)

M8

Manual guiding?!?!? That's great for 5 minutes. Were you looking through an eyepiece? And did you have any PEC help? With the local 16" there are some parts of the period where a minute might be OK unguided, but anything longer would be a big squiggle. And I know if I tried to tweak with the buttons, it would likely just get worse.

M8 from my observatory..

...and nicely processed too. M8 is another that is a challenge to hold down those really bright areas.
