Hi Maurice,
Thanks for sharing these great images. Many of us northerners don't get the opportunity you have had.

M16 Eagle - HaRGB

Posted By Jim Thommes
Thanks to all for your kind comments.

Larry,
Good question! I have no good explanation other than habit. What is really interesting is that a while back I was not real happy with the darks I was making in Registax and started making them in Astroart to use in Registax! One thing, Registax allows me to do a sigma cutoff combine where I think Astroart only gives me an average or a median combine.

Jim,
Another great image--the detail is just terrific for such a wide field. And the color looks nice and rich and natural as well. Really nice.
Larry
PS: I'm curious about your preference for stacking in Registax versus AstroArt...I have only used Reg for planets.

M16 Eagle Nebula in 4.5nm HA

Rob,
Cool image. The low sky position was probably more of a factor than the light dome - and likely going to play havoc with focus and soft stars.

Rob,
Cool image of the triangle. Looks like the conditions didn't present too much of a problem.

Nebulosity around Antares

Posted By Jim Thommes
David,
That is a really cool image. I like the processing. There is a temptation to hit stretch and saturation hard in this area for many of us. Your approach is more subtle and very attractive. Congrats.

I would love to see a full rez version of this if you have it posted anywhere.
