NGC4244 color

Posted By Johannes Schedler

Both images are full of surprising details, Ron!
I especially like the tiny dust lane in this image, looking like a ring?

m106 LRGB

Posted By Johannes Schedler

A wonderful result with lots of color information, Larry!
More luminance exposure would even show more of the outer faint regions, really great shot, even for good conditions,

Deep M57 showing outer shell

Posted By Johannes Schedler

Very well done, Ron!
I have seen several shots showing the outer shell, but most of them with a narrowband filter like H-alpha or O-beta.
With your setup and dark skies it would be very interesting to get a filtered deep shot on that object.

At my site that would be absolutely impossible with only mag 5 sky in best case.

"The Eyes," a galaxy in Virgo

Posted By Johannes Schedler

Very nice and deep image, Ron, will sure benefit from the color.
I remember a wonderful image from Philipp Keller with his 0,8m Pollux.

attention all eos 10d/d60'ers...

Posted By Johannes Schedler

Andrew, you will have fun with the 10D, its even better than the D60.
For constellations a little drawback is the low red sensitivity, it makes H-alpha areas look weak, but with some processing you get make them visible.
See some examples at:

Combining shots to increase total exposure helps a lot.
My favorite lens is the Sigma 20mm f/1.8, stopped to 2.8.

Canon EOS 10D images

Posted By Johannes Schedler

Very nice, Rick!
Can't wait to get clear skies again for testing my new 10D on deep sky objects and constellations.

Pelican close-up

Posted By Johannes Schedler

A fascinating closeup, Ron!

This target really complains for more exposure time, even for the ST 1001E.

Big Pelican

Posted By Johannes Schedler

A breathtaking image with uncountatble details, Andrew!

Such results make lightpollution a bit less annoying.
