Hi all. I added some Ha data to my previous version of these two galaxies. I have had a difficult time balancing the color, but here is an effort. Let me know what you think.
Thanks,

Crescent Nebula with Epsilon 160

Posted By Tyler Allred

Hi all. Here is some Ha data collected last week. I didn't get enough color data to smooth things out adequately, so I am leaving it out for now. I will add to it and do an LRGB composite later. The night this was taken I was getting extremely low FWHM values. It was a good night to take advantage of the Epsilons great optics. I hope you enjoy the luminance data for now.
Cheers,
Tyler

Posted By Tyler Allred

Hi all. I stayed up last night for a little imaging at higher magnification with my Tak CN-212 at F/9.9. I was fighting guider problems all night, but managed enough good frames to get a decent luminanace image. Let me know what you think.
Cheers,
