NGC7000 - The Gulf Region in Ha

Posted By Tyler Allred
Hi all,
Here is an image that I captured 2 nights ago when the moon was very bright and the skies were pretty smoky. At any rate, I went for the Ha filter and managed to get this image of the "Gulf" region of the North America Nebula NGC7000. I used my Tak Epsilon 160 and ST2000XM camera riding on a G-11. I used MaxIm for capture, calibration, and alignment, and Photoshop for finishing. This is 10x20 minute exposures, summed. I hope you like it.
Cheers,
Tyler

M57 - Ring Nebula, from Utah

Posted By Tyler Allred
Hi all. I decided to try a little longer focal length imaging last night, so I broke out the Tak CN-212 and set it up in Cassegrain mode at approximately 2100mm focal length. I think my G-11 is about at its limit with this setup, but it did OK.
Here is the result of my efforts. It is a composite of 45 minutes L and 9 minutes each RGB. I probably need more data, but this was all I could muster last night.
Cheers,
Tyler

M27 - An Ongoing Project

Posted By Tyler Allred
Hi all. I have been working on this one for a while now, and I thought I would go ahead and post it. Takahashi CN-212 at 2100mm. A combination of many subs of different lengths, taken over a long period of time.
I hope you like it.
Cheers,

Yellow Warbler

Posted By Tyler Allred
Hi all. I finally got a decent image of a Yellow Warbler. I am surrounded by them every day, but I have had a terrible time getting a good photo. Yesterday it all worked out and I got this image. I hope you like it.

Short-eared Owl

Posted By Tyler Allred
Hi all. I finally got a chance to do a little wildlife photography last weekend and headed out to the Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge. Wow, what a place. I need to look over a bunch of images, but I thought I would share this one first... it is a short-eared owl that we encountered late in the day. It allowed us to get pretty close, and I burned about 100 frames on it! smile Here is one of my favorites.
Cheers,
Tyler

Hi all. The sandhill cranes are gathering in Heber Valley and I have been after them with the lens. I managed to get this image yesterday.

Another from the Refuge

Posted By Tyler Allred
Here is another image from the trip to the refuge. I have hundreds of heron photos but there is something that I like about this one. I can't put my finger on it, but the image works for me. I hope others enjoy it.

Lewis's Woodpecker

Posted By Tyler Allred
Hi all. This is the first time I have ever seen this bird, a Lewis's Woodpecker. It was in a group of trees in a very dry area near Hammett, Idaho. I had to go to the books to figure out what it was. I hope someone else enjoys seeing the pic.
Cheers,
Tyler

Cocoon Nebula with E160

Posted By Tyler Allred
Hi all. It has been a long time since I was able to do any imaging, but I got out briefly the last two nights. Here is the Cocoon taken with the Tak Epsilon 160. Luminance data was Ha (8x20min), combined with 6x5min RGB. I would like to go deeper, but I can't be up all night right now. Let me know what you think of the image.
Cheers,
Tyler
