But where's the color in this one?

Posted By Jason Boyce

Alec,

M-51 looks good despite the guiding issues but I think the background is clipped. Lightening it up will give it a better overall appearance and let some of those faint fuzzies shine through!

Hi Jeff,

That looks excellent! Lots of details in there.
I think the combo has great potential for hi res images.

Tyler,

It's always a good night when everything works well!
Great job on this,I like what can be done with the bicolor techniques.
Might be a difference or our monitors or maybe just our tastes in processing but I would like to suggest a slightly less saturated version.

Nice work!

Cat's Eye in OIII

Hi Charles,

This is looking great!
I'm sure longer subs would make an improvement in your data. If you are chasing guiding issues and want to eliminate flexure and mirror shift as the culprit why not shoot some subs with the internal guide chip in the camera and see how they come out? There is always off axis guiding too.

This is a neat object,are you planning some Ha and SII on this as well?

Nice Tyler!
I like your processing on this,bringing out the faint surrounding nebulosity adds much to the image.
