Merope

[ampleamp]

Attached is an RGB version of Merope taken at 1200mm over two evenings early last week. Frames are R - 9x15mins, G - 8x15 mins and B - 10x15 mins. I rejected a few subs from each channel due to cloud.

Seeing it on this monitor i wonder if i have over done the saturation but that might be personal taste.

All cc gratefully received, thanks for looking

Saturation looks fine on my monitor. It's a very nice image!

Think that that is within a few % of being spot on,  I would back of just a little but not so much as to worry about  

It nice work and the detail is processed very well without being agressive.

Agree with Paddy...though it might be within a couple of tenths of a Percentage point!  Stars look very good for such long exposures--what scope did you use?  I know in my system, even though I have a refractor, which is not supposed to present refraction spikes, I get similar features (though in miniature) due to microlensing of the CCD camera.  You stars are perfectly round with no hint of features.

Lovely data !

I'm going to disagree with Paddy & Rodd, don't change a thing, I think you nailed it

Thanks for the positive comments guys, i was very happy seeing the subs come through despite the high cloud conditions. On a rainy night i may go back to it and dial the saturation back a tad, and maybe get a monitor calibration thingy?

Rodd, I used a TMB152 into a QSI683 for this image. Lovely scope and for me, one for a very long time.
