Antennae LRGB

Posted By Larry Citro
hi,

Very nice.. turned on its side it looks like a celestial heart (sort of). Don't know if you reached the limits of resolution and detail yet, but it seems you are close ( and a lot closer than me.)


clear skies,

Repost: NGC3718 with some color

Posted By Larry Citro
hi,

i think a 3x3 bin color with a st10xme is not leaving much to be desired, I really like the colors in this galaxy and it's peculiar appearance. That c14 takes very nice images .. I bet you can't wait for the RC 20" ... now that is a SCOPE. Can't wait to see what you can do with that.

clear skies,

A very dim planetary nebula: Abell 43

Posted By Larry Citro
hi,

Planetaries are my favorite objects ... don't ask me why ..I don't know. But this is a very intereting one. Has a hint of filimentary structure in it. Looks like a target that could stand long imaging times and would look beautiful in color. I've put it on my list of to dos ...but it'll take a long time in my skies.

NGC 3621

Posted By Larry Citro
hi,

I saw your m83 on the SBIG group and it was outstanding. This galaxy also is very nice ( I'll never see it here in PA). I like the way you brought out the detail and color in both images. Great work. Show us some more of those nice southern DSOs.

hi,

Thanks. I don't know why I image these things, but I've always been interested in pn's.

Semi-First light: 20" Ritchey-Chretien (M57)

Posted By Larry Citro
hi,

Nice first image.

Two weeks for collimation ? Ouch ! I hope it holds it well

I get frustrated trying to collimate a f4 18" newtonian to my liking ... an RC.. I would give up and sell it for half price in a fit of temporary insanity :0)

Good luck with the new scope.

Garage storage = cooled down?

Posted By Larry Citro
hi,

I store my SCT in my garage and in the summer it needs cooling down. I bring it out 1 hr ahead of time, take the visual back off and turn it corrector plate down to let the hot air rise out of the tube.
