Looks great Wes!
Not too shabby for 225 frames, and great color processing too. wink

Miss or Mosaic? Crescent

Posted By Ivan Gastaldo

Dan, it could be a Miss, or maybe part of a Mosaic, but gotta love those Ha shots. They bring so much detail, they are always amazing! wink

Thanks for sharing! 8)

My first CCD image - Poor man's M13

Posted By Ivan Gastaldo

Luis, that's a very good first try if you ask me! wink
There could be more data hidden in your shot, but we won't know until I get home later on, then I'll play a lil' bit with it and we'll see...


Thanks for sharing, and keep it up! 8)

Awesome shot Jim!
Where in Italy are you going?
Hope one of these days I might go there, as my father was born in Torino and I have some family I never met in person...

Enjoy, and have a safe trip! 8)

Is there a recommended/definitive sky chart?

Posted By Ivan Gastaldo

Well, same as the others have mentioned, Sky Atlas 2000, deluxe edition, laminated, white stars on black background... wink

Of course, if I use the laptop, then it is Starry Night Pro... wink

Lack of monitoring lately

Posted By Ivan Gastaldo

Floyd, it is fully understandable, as we are only human, and life takes its toll in our time too... we simply cannot be here at all times.

It is a pity that this one thread deviated from its original thought to something that could've been probably handled outside of it, via PM... (people, that's what PMs are for!)

Anyways, life goes on, lets all just try to stay ON TOPIC.


Keep up the good job Floyd! 8)
And feel better!
