M20 - Trifid - from 10,000 feet

Posted By Tyler Allred
Here is the last decent image that I captured on my Friday all-nighter at high altitude. This image is only two 5-min frames (cloud problems!), but it turned out OK because of the dark skies and the fast scope.
Cheers,
Tyler

Pinwheel is finally done!!

Posted By Tyler Allred
Hi all. I managed to add some color data to a few of my luminance images from weeks ago. Here is the first. I added 10 minutes of RGB and 10 minutes of Ha to the Luminance I had previously posted. The Ha brings out the nebulous areas better. Comments and suggestions are always appreciated. My skin is too thick to be easily offended, so let me know what you really think.
Cheers,

A Quick M13

Posted By Tyler Allred
Last night I did a quick version of M13 while I was waiting for the Pinwheel to rise higher in the sky. It turned out better than I expected. The image is RGB, 5 minutes each, acquired in Maxim DL and processed in Maxim DL and Photoshop. The scope was the Tak CN-212 in Newt mode on a Losmandy G-11/Gemini. The camera was an SBIG ST2000XM with CFW8 and Astrodon filters.
Cheers,

M20 Trifid Nebula

Posted By Tyler Allred
Hello again. On Friday, I also managed to get color data for the Trifid luminance that I posted a while back. I am really enjoying the Astrodn filters...... they make processing much easier. Here is a reduced version. A full version can be seen at:

M16 Eagle from 10,000 feet

Posted By Tyler Allred
I went to Wolf Creek Summit again last night, but the conditions were pretty bad. The clouds just kept coming and coming. But, I did manage to get one image. Here is M16, the Eagle Nebula. The image was processed to bring out the nebulosity in the surrounding area.

On the bright side, I got to take a few peeks through Steve Dodds 33-inch Dob.... WOW!! There are no other words to describe it.

Cheers,
Tyler

Posted By Tyler Allred
Hi all. I have been very busy over the last couple of weeks, with a case in Federal Court. I am pleased to say that my testimony is done........ yahoooooooo!! I enjoyed looking at all the great images that have been posted here while I was away. There are too many to comment on individually, but please know that I enjoyed seeing them all, and congrats!
Cheers,

M16 Star Color Problem

Posted By Tyler Allred
Hi all. Sorry to post this again, but I have been trying to get the processing right on it, and I happened across the webpage of Russ Croman. He outlined a method for preserving star color, so I tried it. I just want to get opinions on this version.
Cheers,
Tyler

M15 from Utah

Posted By Tyler Allred
Hi all. I set up in my light polluted back yard last night, hoping to get SOMETHING.... ANYTHING! It was just too bright for any dim objects, but I managed to get a decent version of M15. I hope you like it. Comments and suggestions are always welcome.
Cheers,
Tyler

NGC6992 - Veil Nebula from Last Night

Posted By Tyler Allred
Hi all. Here is an image from last night, taken from my light polluted back yard here in Orem, Utah. I had to fight a pretty bad gradient from all the stray light, which really complicated the processing. Comments and suggestions are always appreciated. Let me know what you really think.

M56 from Utah

Posted By Tyler Allred
Hi all. I shot this image early on the same night that I imaged the Veil. I used Russell Croman's gradient Xterminator to get rid of a nasty gradient. It seemed to perform quite well. It is not my best work, but it turned out OK I guess.
Cheers,
Tyler
