NGC 2403 - Close in

Posted By Jim Thommes
Thanks all for the kind words and comments. I appreciate them much.

I do like to show earlier images I have made of an object. I find it interesting to see them along with the current one. Seems like people don't mind too much.

Hi Jason,
This is a nice result. Congrats. As Dan mentioned, it would be interesting to see a version with a tad less blur.

Looks good Jason.

I think the color and the cluster came out real nice.

Thanks for the comments guys....

Dan, thanks for the link on the IR image. It is amazing that the bright stars in the IR image are totally obscured in my visible light image.

Richard, I should try a wider image with some long exposures. Still visible light though. It would be interesting to have IR optics and sensors, but I think I heard somewhere it is difficult to do IR through Earth's atmosphere. But I really have no idea.

IC405-410 area

Gilles,
Very nice wide field of this interesting area. I took a look at the full rez version - the optics look fantastic.

IC-405 Flaming Star Nebula

Nice one Floyd,
Too bad about the seeing and the issues with Blue though. Look like you have made a good showing with the data you did manage.

Helix Nebula

Posted By Jim Thommes
Looks great Floyd.

What filters were used? I know I have an image of the Helix and my center is much the same as yours. Other have had more green content in the central color. Apparently much can depend on the RGB filters.

Yep, they are smiling - I hadn't noticed before. Great image too!
