One final image from last week

Posted By Vincent Bert

I added RGB to my previous luminance of M81. Bloated stars...so I suspect my focus was a bit off. Its always something....

NGC 4236

Posted By Vincent Bert

havent seen too many of this one so I thought I would share it as its a very interesting object. RGB's were trashed by high clouds sad The image is a crop of the full-res frame.

NGC 4236 - LRGB version

Posted By Vincent Bert

I did manage to salvage some color data but noise levels were hard to deal with. Any input on the color balance is appreciated. Vince

A reprocessed first CCD image

Posted By Vincent Bert

This was the first ever CCD image that I captured alittle less than a year ago. Since I have learned a few processing tricks along the way I feel it is much improved from when I captured the data. Thanks for looking, Vince

Leo Trio - LRGB

Posted By Vincent Bert

Well when re-processing my lum data I stumbled across the RGB I took last month! Bonus 8O . I had totally forgotten about it so it was a bit like Christmas around here today.

NGC 4565 - LRGB

Posted By Vincent Bert

Finally put together my RGB for this object. Once again the CA of the Tak doublet rears its ugly head on the blue stars. Its not so noticable in this image due to lack of bright field stars, but there nonetheless. In the future I might try putting a minus violet filter on the camers nosepiece when taking RGB data. critiques appreciated. Vince

NGC 4535 and 4526

Posted By Vincent Bert

An interesting GX field, lum only, trashed the color due to poor seeing.

yet another M13

Posted By Vincent Bert

I wanted to come home with at least one RGB image from last week so I resorted to shooting a cluster. :S
