Another Another Gassendi

Posted By Tyler Allred

I too imaged Gassendi last night, but mine is not nearly as nice as Mike's and Edward's earlier postings. Nonetheless, I am posting it anyway. wink I have never let such things deter me.
Cheers,
Tyler

Jupiter from Utah

Posted By Tyler Allred

I tried Jupiter on my one clear night last week. It was pretty low in the sky, so the image was pretty shaky, but the stack turned out OK. I used the Lucy-Richardson deconvolution filter, which seemed to bring out some detail, but also created some odd artifacts around the perimeter of the disk. Oh well, it is the best I could do under the circumstances.

Tyler

M37 Cluster

Posted By Tyler Allred

Hi all. My imaging has been pretty limited of late. The weather just won't cooperate. So, when it cleared last night, I had to try. Despite a very bright moon, I imaged three clusters, and they turned out OK. Here is the first..... M37.

Here is M38, the second of three clusters that I imaged a few nights ago, under a very bright moon.

M3 from Utah

Posted By Tyler Allred

Hi all. The sky cleared last night, grin grin grin so I decided to do a little imaging. I almost froze to death, but it sure was fun! Here is the globular cluster M3.

IC443 Ha from Utah

Posted By Tyler Allred

Hi all. I imaged this one the same night as M3, but it took a while to do the processing. I still need more data to smooth things out, but it is a start. This is my first successful Ha imaging attempt. I used an Astronomik 15nm bandpass Ha filter with my ST2000XM on the Tak Sky90. This exposure is 40 minutes (4x10).

I am attaching a small thumbnail.... a larger image can be found at:

IC410 HaRGB from Utah

Posted By Tyler Allred

Hi all. The skies were clear in Utah last night....WAAAAAAHOOOOOOO!!!
Here is the result of a trip to a dark sky site with a few friends. I have been wanting to image this since Cal posted his nice Ha image of it a few weeks back. I finally got the gear and the skies for it. I like the little swimmers in this one. wink
Cheers,
Tyler
