Love this area of the sky, job to get from my location,

you have captured these two very nice, the colors  are striking 

whats not to like 

well done galatica77

Paul

Very nice indeed Dave,

Funny thing is i didn't even notice the magenta stars,

More to the point, personally i do not  find them intrusive especially on 

a false color image.

But then beauty as they say is in the eye of the beholder.

I admire your long slog on this target, and its paid off

Well done

Paul  

That is up close and personal, I  like it

I had the same problem with my equipment,  mainly the hardware

Takes a couple sessions to get back into it.

Trouble is with the good old UK weather it could be 2 months apart

nice capture

Nice. I very rarely say this but, for me, the black point could come in a whisper but certainly not more than that.

Hi Olly and thanks for the comments,

I see what you mean about the the black point, I just pointed it out to Dave,

I have just replaced my old faithful monitor and it could be a Tad to dark

I normally get the picture somewhere near right with the levels and curves 

then that last tiny bit i adjust by eye so it looks OK On my monitor.

Its nice to be able to do a bit of imaging again, as i was missing it.

Thanks for the info

Indeed a very nice wide field Bubble Lobster Claw and M52, perhaps pulling the black point in a bit might be worth a try 

Dave

Thanks Dave much appreciated, funny thing is I can see the image needs adjusting on my work computer, 

I could not see it from home, I have just replaced my aging monitor, probably needs a bit of adjustment, maybe

I have it to dark, which would probably cause the problem, as the picture displayed on SGL looks 

a bit whited out.

Thanks for your feed back much appreciated.

That's really nice. The star colors are great. I did  nearly the same image last week with a DSLR and L-enhance but I  struggling to process it because of the noise.

Thanks mackiedlmfor the kind comments, 

I have done the Nebula with a canon 1100d and you are correct, do expect a fair bit of noise, 

I do not know what your settings you were using, air temp etc but try iso 8oo and 5 minute subs if,

equipment allow, but the main thing is plenty of them at least 30 minimum if you can and 

use darks and lights to help balance out the image.

Thanks 

Paul

Wall hanger for sure, what's not to like about it.

wish you hadn't mentioned about the background Galaxies,

I must have spent 20 minutes counting them and only got about half way

I stopped to save my sanity, lol.

fantastic Mix well done.

Paul 

That's up close and personal, I like it

I think we have to take what we can get in the uk at the moment.

would look glorious in colour, but The HA version is nice on its own.

well done

Paul 

Wow what a difference, very nice indeed

well done

That's come out very well, with loads of detail.  The balance with the stars looks great too (including the colours).

Thanks geeklee, much appreciated 

Hi Every one,

I was blessed last Saturday night with clear skies so too the opportunity to image

the Bubble Nebula, I captured 4 hours worth of RGB but in the end got 

2 hours in 5 minute subs due to the neighbors 500 watt flood light and high cloud

I found it quite hard to process due to the amount of HA in that region and 

the overwhelming amount of stars, and the working with only half the intended data

I wanted to use,

Overall fairly pleased I came away with this effort.

Processed in DSS Pixinsight and PE

Awo 294mc pro camera -10, 5 minutes subs, star71 scope all sitting on a skywatcher azeq6  mount

That's come out quite well, the color of the target in general is ok,

but for some reason the edges going vertical seem over white on both sides

what what it seems like on my monitor, almost like over done flats.

probably not the case.

well done 

Paul

Wow admire your dedication to the image...I know this one is not for the faint of heart..

It's come out very nice  indeed, colours and processing to match.

Well done

Paul 

Your on to something there, nice and crisp, 

and nicely processed, a wide field wining combination for sure.

some interesting specs on this lens, thanks for putting the info out there.

Main question, is FLO going to be selling these.

Interesting time ahead

well done 

Paul

Nicely captured and processed, adding the Ha was the icing on the cake,

Wall Hanger for sure.

Well done 

Paul

That's turned out nice, nothing worse than getting your head around new gear,

by the looks of it its working very nice

Well done 

Paul

Wow, about as good as it gets on this Nebula

striking detail and colors, the O3 really makes this pop, almost 3d,

well done 

Paul

very nice indeed, I am no expert on mounts but looking at that lovely pick,

I would say its spot on

well done

Paul

Hi Everyone,

I managed to squeeze 1hr and 35 minutes on M31 Saturday night before the thin,

high clouds stopped play as it was bloating the stars something horrible.

Then Sunday I processed the image in Dss, Pixinsight, and photo shop,

Not expecting much at all due to the lack of data,  but eventually I ended up with what you see here.

Am I please with the result, yes I am for the amount of data captured, does it need more to smooth it out, absolutely 

to gain more color and depth to help stop stretching it beyond what data I captured, so the plan is weather permitting

is to add more to it .

what do you guy's think.

Thanks for looking , stay safe and may clear skies be with you.

What a cracker...you certainly have the rasa tuned in ...nicley captured and processed...

Must be a game changer being able to get all them photons quicker. 

Well done 

Paul

You seem to have everything tuned in to perfection with this setup...most impressive..nicely captured and processed.

Well done on a excellent image

Paul

Wow excellent capture and processing. And the colours are very nice indeed 

Considering your level of light pollution and at that focal length I would be very proud of such a image

Well done

Paul

Nicely done Chris, must say great informative video.

Goes to show what can be done with basic equipment.

Well done 

Paul

Wow something to be proud of,

Nice data and beautifully processed,

Wall hanger for sure

Well done Tayson

Paul

Most impressive for the amount of time on it,

some nice colors starting to pop through to.

Plus no guiding was used,  a good job all round I thinks,

If conditions allow always go for as much data as possible, to help smooth out the image 

and get a bit more depth.

well done 

Paul
