Tufted Titmouse

Posted By Robert Watters
Been a long, long, time since I last posted here. Was able to get out a few hours on Tuesday so here are a few shots to share. Not much for Warbler activity so I'm hoping they are yet to move through.

Comments appreciated,

1st Ha image, M27

Posted By Robert Watters
I picked M27 as my first HA image, bright and well placed. Probably only my 5th or so CCD image. Most of my attempts haven't been worthy of posting. smile This one is OK but there's still plenty of room for improvement, guiding problems all night.

Here are the details:

110 minutes total, 10 minute subs, 13nm Ha filter
AP140 F7.5 EDF prototype
Losmandy G11, (standard)
SBIG ST-8E (parallel port)
CCD Soft for image acquisition
CCD Stack for aligning and stacking
Photoshop for final processing

Let me know what you think,
