Swainson's Hawk

Posted By Tyler Allred
Hi all. I have been AWOL from this site for quite a while, but I thought I would check in and share a couple of shots. Here is one of an upset Swainson's Hawk with a tasty morsel.
Cheers,
Tyler

Here is another. I have had no time for photography, but I have a large stock of old images, so I am dipping into them.

Atlas and Friends from Utah

Posted By Tyler Allred
Hi all. Here is my first lunar light with the new Lumenera Infinity 2-1M. The seeing was pretty bad, but I am getting to like this camera better and better. I used a new program (for me) called Lucam Recorder and I really like it. Thanks for the tip Luca!! I used only one alignment point (Atlas), so much of the image is a little soft. I will try a few more points when I get a little time. If I could get a steady night I think I could really do some damage with this camera.
Cheers,
Tyler

Hi all. Here is a slightly different version of this area of the moon. This one was taken with the Tak Extender-Q 1.6X teleconverter. I like the subtle detail and the slightly wider view. Let me know what you think. I am working on my processing skills, so comments and suggestions would be welcome.

Hi all. I got a clear night last night and did a little imaging with the new Infinity 2-1M camera. The transparency was great, but the atmosphere was pretty shaky. I used Lucam Recorder to capture the images as 12-bit tiff files. Here is the result of my efforts. Let me know what you think.

Albategnis & Klein

Posted By Tyler Allred
Hello again,
Here is another image from my last session. It shows a very interesting area of the moon (IMHO). I like the tiny crater in the middle of the central mountain in Albategnis.... it looks like a volcano.
Cheers,
Tyler

M81 - Finally, a clear night!

Posted By Tyler Allred
Hi all. I finally got a clear night. WAHOOOOOO!! The seeing was bad, and the light pollution was bad, but that didn't stop me from getting out under the stars. Janie, my 17 year old daughter helped me with these images. Despite the conditions, the image turned out OK. Comments and suggestions are always welcome.
Cheers,
Tyler

M51 Luminance Data - from Utah

Posted By Tyler Allred
Hi all. I got a clear sky last night so I tried a little more imaging. This one was taken with the Tak CN212 in cass mode at F/9.9. I did a quick processing job on the luminance. I am hoping to add some color data soon. Let me know what you think.

M106 Core - Luminance

Posted By Tyler Allred
Hi all. I decided to try a shot of the M106 core at higher magnification. I used my Takahashi CN212 at F/9.9. This image was reduced to 67% of original. The light pollution was too overpowering to get any of the outer arms, but the core turned out OK. Let me know what you think.

M63 The Sunflower Galaxy - from Utah

Posted By Tyler Allred
Hi all. I spent most of last night under clear skies and loving it. I decided to try for M63 with my Tak CN-212 in Newt mode at F/3.9. Here is a first cut at processing the data. I am pretty happy with the results so far, and I expect to be able to improve it with further puttering. wink As always, I appreciate any comments and/or suggestions.
Cheers,
Tyler
