New Rukl's Atlas of the Moon (2nd ed)

Posted By Larry Citro
hi,

I received mine a few days ago, I ordered it from Sky Publishing. I think it's a great atlas.

Why ? Because it's going to get me into lunar observing, something I have not done in a serious fashion in my 45 years of being into amateur astronomy ( I've been hooked on DSO's and astrophotography ). Net result ..at least 10 more days of observing opportunities per month to look at something that's interesting and learn something. Not bad for the price paid.

DSI's Blue Snowball, second try...

Posted By Larry Citro
hi Ivan,

nice shot, remarkable I think for an inexpensive camera on an Alt-Az mount. I played with it in PaintShopPro and came up with this ( cleaned up the noise and rebalanced the colors )

NGC 7000 One-Shot Color vs. RGB

Posted By Larry Citro
hi,

i like the lrgb image the best... it appears to have the most natural color balance. Terry's processing is a close second. Nice images BTW.
