Fantastic job! Thanks for the detailed processing information, it's quite fascinating to read about others' techniques.

M42 - Newbie to the digital SLR thing....

Hey Tom! That's not bad at all!

Question: Can the SAC8 autoguide? For those really long jaw-dropping exposures, an autoguider is a must.

Whatever noise there was didn't survive the web reduction. Looks fantastic, nice job!

Omega Centauri

Thanks for giving us such great peaks at southern treasures. I especially liked the LMC image, and this one of Omega Centauri. Nice job.

Very good result. No doubt it would have been jaw-dropping without the full moon, but I'm amazed it turned out this well with one. Great job.

IC410 - core

Posted By Don McCrady

Really nice image. Perfectly framed. Having looked at all three versions, I think this one is the most pleasing, smoothest one. Great job.

Wow, Carl, you're a Ha-goo-roo. There sure is a wide dynamic range of brightness in this image; you did a great job of balancing it all.

Beautiful. The amount of extended nebulosity is amazing.

Excellent! Sharp and detailed in the arms, with the core well-preserved.
