M31 - Quick and Dirty

Posted By Tyler Allred
Hi all. After shooting the Cocoon a few nights back, I ran a sequence of 10x5 minute subs and 8x1 minute subs of M31 in luminance only. I just got around to combining the data and I thought I would post the early results. Processing invloved simple stretching of the data and using the 1 minutes subs for the bright center.
Cheers,
Tyler

Our Own Galaxy

Posted By Tyler Allred
Hi all. This is not a great image, but it is something different from the recent postings, so I thought I would share it. It was unguided and fairly short exposure, but it turned out OK.

M31 with a little color

Posted By Tyler Allred
Hi all. I decided to take the luminance data that I recently collected and put a little color with it. The color is from an older image, taken a couple of years ago. Here is the result.

My best owl pics yet!

Posted By Tyler Allred
Hi all. I went to my old owling spot today after work and, sure enough, I found a Great-Horned Owl. It was so calm that I was able to shoot tons of frames and switch lenses a couple of times. Here is a full body shot which has been greatly reduced in size....

Wide Moon Shot

Posted By Tyler Allred
Hi all. A few nights ago, at the end of a narrow-band deep sky imaging session, I decided to take a couple of frames of the moon with my Takahashi Epsilon 160 and SBIG ST2000XM camera. The exposure was 0.001 seconds. Here is one of the frames. I hope someone out there enjoys it.
Cheers,
