Double Cluster

Posted By Don McCrady
Excellent job as always. Did you do any kind of star-shaping? They look really nicely soft (the good kind of soft, not the out-of-focus kind of soft).

My first M1

Posted By Don McCrady
You got some great detail, it's a fine image. Looks like your guiding may have been a tad off because some of the stars aren't quite round. There's also a small off-center gradient that's stealing some contrast. Can't argue with the results, though; a lot better than my current best on this object.

M44 Mosaic

Posted By Don McCrady
Nice, Jim. I thought the Megrez II was an APO. Is the CA due to the very short focal ratio used?

M1 - Crab Nebula

Posted By Don McCrady
Very nice crab; you went fairly deep on this one and show lots of detail right out to the extents. I'm not so sure about the colour on this one, though it's always subjective... I see a little too much magenta. It's a keeper though.

M42 with STL revisited

Posted By Don McCrady
Very sweet. I agree that Ha shows a lot of texture around the main area of nebulosity, and really adds to the overall image. Beautiful job as well maintaining the core.

Awesome shot of one of the more colourful globulars in the sky.

Orion nebula

Posted By Don McCrady
Wow, that's incredible. Two well-rendered nebula regions in one shot. Nicely framed and processed.

Unless you modify your camera to remove the IR filter, you won't get a lot of the deep reds you're looking for even under dark skies. The colours here are typical of M42 with Canon dSLR's.

NGC 1877 Reflection Nebula

Posted By Don McCrady
Very interesting object, Jim. Nicely done!

M65 & 66 LRGB

Posted By Don McCrady
Nice job. It might stand a little sharpening to bring out the dust lane down M66. The colour might be a bit muted, but it's there. Great image!
