IC59 and 63; Cassiopeia

Posted By dan kowall
You captured a lot of the outer nebulosity for such a short exposure, Tom.
I think that you handled Gamma Cass well. It shouldn't appear to be a mag 20 star. It is, after all, one BRIGHT star.

You show a lot of detail in the emission nebula, Jim.
Good job.

My new website

Posted By dan kowall
That's excellent, Tyler.
As the others pointed out, it's easy to navigate and user friendly.
It loads quickly, too.
I wouldn't mind seeing a link to larger-sized images, but other than that I wouldn't change anything.

IC443 -- framing messed up

Posted By dan kowall
It's awfully dark on my monitor, Tom.
I like the framing. The bright, intricately entwined tendrils of the Jellyfish makes for a nice dynamic tension with the softer, smoother nebulosity in the upper left.
Maybe just add a panel that has the bottom of the Jellyfish?
My regards,

New SBIG CCD cameras coming soon???

Posted By dan kowall
SBIG announced at the recent Advanced Imaging Conference that they would, indeed, be coming out with several new cameras. I don't believe any specific release dates were announced.
From what I remember of the presentation, there wouln't be a 'replacement ST10XME'.
Most of the new cameras featured large chips.

NGC 891

Great star colors, detail in the dust lanes, and unclipped gas surrounding the galaxy.
That's well processed, Jim.

IC1848 - Epsilon 160 - from Utah

Posted By dan kowall
There's a wealth of detail there, Tyler.
It's perfectly stretched to take advantage of all available bits, too. I've found that to be harder to do than one would think.
You don't necessarily need a bigger chip, as this would be a good start for a mosaic.
