They look at us and wonder the same thing?

More amazing than your Galilean calculations is the image of Jupiter. It’s huge and you used an 81 mm scope! I could never get the planet 1/5 as big with a C11 (or as impressive)

A tough project due to the intervening dust, which tends to push the image toward the red. I thought it was a bit much, so I toned it down a bit. The only difference between these two images is one iteration of sharpening. The second image is a tad bit sharper. Is it too much? TOA 130 and ASI 1600. HaLRGB about 32 hours

Wow--that MN190 is awesome. Truly an amazing image. I am not familiar with these and I need to look into them

Until my mount is working again, I must dig deep to find data worth processing. For this one , I used about 16 hours of FSQ RGB data and 4 hours of TOA Ha. The top of my wish list? A bigger sensor

Thanks Doc. Trickier for me than most

It stand for teal! No, typo!

Can’t leave anybody out. No, T stands for typo!

Yes, for irregular galaxy it’s unusual

Thanks. The longish focal length helps with this one. I just wish I had good seeing

This one has taken me years! Subtle improvements add up. C11Edgfe with .7x reducer, Bin1, and ASI 1600. HaLRGTB about 20 hours.

Truye--but I need one anyway--I must move up to the 2600 for many other reasons

True. But I need one anyway. The sensor has other issues. It’s probably my sky

There he is!

A dark which with an eagles face!

🤣 I came across a small wooden keg in a mossy glen deep in the Catskills.

Ha Ha! What else have I got to do in these cloud filled times!

This is Sh2-132 at an unusual angle

Thanks S.

You don’t see the curly headed troll with the big nose?

High in the mountains of the Trollshaws dwells Angus Clubnose. You can see him at left. Hes after the glowing mass of amber at right, caught in the roots of a Jabba-Jari tree (a delicacy for a Troll). TOA 130 with ASI 1600. about 26 hours. HaSHO

Glass is clean. I don’t have any open filter spaces. Not going to disassemble everything.

Wow-you really removed it well. Who knows. I use Astrodon filters. I am not going to start trying new filter wheels or filters. If the fuilters are too far or too close, that is a byproduct of crappy design of the camera or filter wheel--same manufactuerer.Maybe its sky conditions, which always such. But the sensor does have diffraction patterns around bvright stars when I shoot at a longer focal length.

One day I will get a new camera--provided my mount can be fixed. The price of the 2600s are coming down. Any larger than that and I would need new filtrers, which would make it undoable.

Thanks Simon. Yes stag masks are tough. These days I just remove all the stars with star exterminator. Then put them back. I never could get perfect star masks
