FRAUD

Posted By Ivan Gastaldo
I'm really sorry to hear this Robert... sad
The Ad seems to be gone... could you contact me out of the Forums, on a PM, and let me know WHO is this person? (he/she might have deleted his/her account, or maybe Herb took care of it)

Thank you, and I surely hope this issue will get fixed soon... and to your satisfaction.

First completely unattended image -- vdB142

What a wonderful setup and image Thomas! Congratulations!
Now, we could call you a "cheater" for doing it this way, but we won't do that, right boys? wink 8)

Keep'em coming, no matter what method you use... wink and thanks for sharing!

You Can Feel My Pain...

Posted By Ivan Gastaldo
What are you guys talking about? 8O That's the Smokey Rings Nebula! 8)
Dan, I feel your pain, my friend... sad

We have had bad weather due to the large brushfires in The Everglades, not to mention the start of the Summer in South Florida, which means Hurricane Season and lots of rain...

Anyways, I KNOW that I won't see much of clear skies until this is all over, probably 6 months from now... (clear skies down here, at this time of the year, are normally steady, but hazy, not crisp-clear like in Winter)



Take care guys! 8)

M51 processing results compared

Posted By Ivan Gastaldo
Paul, nicely done... 8)
I sure do like the second one better, as it does not look overprocessed, and the colors seem more true...


Thank you,

Almost first tries to image DSO using CCD

Posted By Ivan Gastaldo
Ansuman, nicely done my friend... 8)
Larry is correct in saying that MORE data would be great for your images... specially for Galaxies & Nebulas...

Practice makes perfection, so keep it up! wink

Looking forward to many more shots from you... and thank you for sharing!

M3 LRGB

Posted By Ivan Gastaldo
Hey Larry, I played a little with your image, and even though it seems that the core is a bit blown up already, I was able to get that gradient out... tell me what you think... (and forgive me if by any chance aomething is out of whack, but my monitor likes to play games with me from time to time... and I don't see it until I check the image on another monitor later on...) 8) wink


Clear skies!
