Heart Nebula IC 1805 in Cassiopeia

Very Nice Rob!

I also liked the M8 / M20. That STL11000 does great job with field and resolution.

On the pepper flecks, good darks are certainly needed but I'm not sure darks can do everything - particularly if the stretch is heavy. I think a sigma or median combine on the sufram stack can help even after an imperfect dark subtract.

Tyler,
Looks pretty good. Dust areas look good too. What were the challenges you encountered in the dust lane processing?

Veil with the venerable Orion ST120

David,
Pretty amazing detail in the image. I am impressed! I had heard the the ST120's struggled. However, with the narrowbands, apparently not.

Nice one Tyler. You got a lot of good detail with this Ha image. What was your subframe time?

Very nice Tom.
I guess these are not for the faint of heart (or for that matter those with bright skies). You have done a fine job.
