Orion's Sword

Here is a reprocessed version. I watched a few tutorials on how to use curves and went and applied what I had learned.

Thanks

Here is another shot I reprocessed with curves. I got a ton of images to squeeze data from.

Andromeda - M31

That is an excellent wide field f.l. for that object. Good star color Jim.

Thanks Guys! Peter I love this lens. It has a wide range of f.l s, is sharp with out too much color. I noticed I was getting some reflections with bright objects so I took the skylight filter off and it seems much better.

NGC 247 galaxy

Nice and close up!. I am curious as to what focal reducer you use with your C-8. I am looking for something that flattens my field with my C-11. I have a Easy Guider but it doesn't help with star shape.

Another M45

Nice image Henry, You have a pretty deep image as I can see some background nebula by the red star. It does look a tad dark for me but nice job anyway.

Shorter exposures. I know this works with DSLRs.

NGC 404 - Mirach's Ghost (in Andromeda)

Posted By Joe McBride
Nice image. This is a tough object and really not suited for a SCT due to reflections from the corrector. Here is my version from last year. 2 x 4min with a Canon DSLR through my C-11 @ f/6.

Thanks

Joe
