NGC6820 and NGC6823 in Vulpecula

Posted By Tyler Allred

Hi all. I managed to get a few hours of data last week of this very interesting object in Vulpecula. This image is a HaHaRGB composite with 3 hours of Ha and 30 minutes each of G and B. The data were collected with my Tak Epsilon 160 riding on a Losmandy G-11 mount. The camera was an SBIG ST2000XM with Astrodon BG filters and a Schuler Ha filter.

This is a small version, but I will be posting a link to the full version later. I hope you like the image.

New Flaming Star Version

Posted By Tyler Allred

Hi all. I tried reprocessing my Flaming Star image to bring out the blues better. I think it turned out pretty good. Here is a thumbnail.


And, here is a link to the full version.

My new website

Posted By Tyler Allred

Hi everyone. I have been putting together a personal website for my astrophotography addiction. The site is Allred-Astro dot com. I would appreciate some feedback on the site. I don't have much of my work on it yet, but it is a start. Please take a look and let me know what you think. I am especially interested in your thoughts on layout and navigation, etc.
Thanks,
Tyler

99.73% Full Moon - from Utah

Posted By Tyler Allred

Hi all. Here is a greatly reduced version of an image I acquired tonight. It was taken with my Nikon D200 using a C5 with reducer/corrector as a telephoto lens. The image was handheld, ISO 100, 1/500th second. Processed in Photoshop CS with several layers of highpass filter overlay. Let me know what you think.
Cheers,
Tyler

My new website

Posted By Tyler Allred

Hello all! I have been working diligently on my new website and I have it up and running now. It still needs lots of work, but it is coming along pretty well. Take a look and let me know what you think. The site is Nature-Smiles dot com.
Thanks,
Tyler

PS - Here is a reduced image from the site.

Petavius

Posted By Tyler Allred

Hi all. Here is my first effort at "real" lunar imaging for quite some time. The skies in Utah wobble nearly all the time, but I decided to break out the Tak CN-212 and go for it. Here is the result. This is a MAP (29 points)image combined from 2000 individual tif files and processed using Registax 4 and Photoshop CS. The image was shot at F/25, using a Lumenera Infinity 2-1 camera at 1280x1024 resolution.

Let me know what you think. I always have a hard time deciding which monitor tom use for my finishing, and it looks very different on my two monitors. Oh well!
Cheers,
Tyler

IC1848 - Epsilon 160 - from Utah

Posted By Tyler Allred

Hi all. Here is the last Ha image from my one good night last week. This was taken the same night as the Orion and Veil images that I posted earlier. I just got around to processing this one. This is an amazing object, with lots of interesting structure, but I could have used a little larger chip. :C

The image is 7x20 minutes Ha, with Takahashi Epsilon 160, G-11, and ST2000XM.

Let me know what you think.
Thanks,
Tyler
