Some 10min sub data after a night of frustration

Posted By Jason Boyce

Good work Alec.
I do notice less noise for sure with the 10 minute subs and your processing on this looks great!

Good luck with your upgrading,it does sound frustrating :C
At least you were able to salvage the night and end up with a great image.

IC2177 narrowband redo

Posted By Jason Boyce

That's a real beauty Tom.

Lots of details in the main nebula but my eyes keep being pulled to the upper center of the image where the simicircular structure is in the OIII area. looks like some kind of shockwave or something? Pretty cool!

DWB111 In Ha

Posted By Jason Boyce

I shot 13x300s each of RGB on this too so here's a HaRGB version.
It actually came out a bit better than I thought it would after first looking at the RGB subs,they were not so great wink

This one is trimmed a bit around the edges and reduced to 60%

Hope the color is close to right!

Thanks for looking,your comments always welcomed.

M27 2009

Posted By Jason Boyce

Hi Charles,

I've looked at this on two monitors,my home LCD and my laptop at work right now,neither are really calibrated but I think they're close,it looks good on both,better on the home LCD.

I think it's a great looking image as is but as Floyd said you could probably boost M27 itself a bit and maybe give the stars a tiny bit of sharpening? I think this would help give the image more depth.

Overall it's sweet!
