Reworked M33 from Utah

Posted By Tyler Allred

Hi all. I have been reworking my version of M33 to bring out more detail in the dark lanes within the central portion of the galaxy. I have also been working on the color balance a little. What do you think?
Cheers,
Tyler

Reworked Cone Nebula Image

Posted By Tyler Allred

Hi all. I have been reworking some of my old images because I found that my earlier processing techniques were lacking!!! :C

Here is a version of the Cone Nebula. My earlier version showed no color in the stars. They were all a yellowish-white. I think this processing is much better. Let me know what you think.
Cheers,
Tyler

Hi all. I have been very busy lately and the weather has not cooperated, but I managed a little imaging time last night. Here is a first cut at processing this image.

M78 from Utah

Posted By Tyler Allred

Seeing Thomas Davis' beautiful version of M78 got me excited to try reworking my old data of that object. I have learned a little more about processing since I captured the data for this image, so I thought I might be able to improve upon my original offering. My color is not as rich as Tom's, but it turned out OK anyway. Here is the result.
Cheers,
Tyler

Bald Eagle from Utah

Hi all. I have not posted here for a while, but I still check in now and then to enjoy the great pics. I snapped this image of a wild Bald Eagle yesterday, through the eyepiece of my Tak Sky90, and I thought someone might enjoy it.
Cheers,

Hi all. This image was taken with a Nikon 4300 through a Nagler 16mm eyepiece on my Tak Sky90. It is a single frame, and is greatly reduced. I hope you like it.

Jackpot, from Utah

Posted By Tyler Allred

Hi all. Sorry for my absence on this forum lately, but I just haven't had much time for shooting wildlife of late. I hit the jackpot today however, with a golden eagle that was eating a deer. I was able to get very close and I shot about 30 frames. Here are my favorites. This frame shows the HUGE bird eating on the carcass of a dead deer...

Orion Region in Ha from Utah

Posted By Tyler Allred

Hi all. I finally got a clear night, so I decided to try a little Ha imaging with my ST2000XM and a nikon lens. Here is the result. It was shot at about 70mm, and was 5 frames of 20 minutes each.
