Sandhill on a Nest

Posted By Tyler Allred

This sandhill has chosen a nest site that is right beside a gravel road. I didn't want to disturb it too much so I snapped an image as I drove past slowly. It turned out OK considering the moving platform. This one is really reduced.

Another shot of the sandhill

Posted By Tyler Allred

Here is the nesting sandhill crane that I posted last week. She is still sitting on the nest. This time I stopped the truck and shot out the window with my Swarovski ATS65 spotting scope. Here is the full frame reduced to 800x600....

A few from a special feeder

Posted By Tyler Allred

Hi all. I had to go to the Yellowstone R. (Utah) for some stream work yesterday. I met with a great guy who runs the power plant in the canyon. He has two hummingbird feeders that are VERY active. The birds would even land on your finger to get at the food. Here are a bunch of shots. I hope someone enjoys them.

NGC6960

Posted By Tyler Allred

Hi all. I finally got a chance to image after a couple of months for moving to a new home and other busy work. smile I went for NGC6960, part of the Veil nebula. Here is the result. It still needs work, but it is coming along pretty well.
Cheers,
Tyler

PS - I'm happy to be imaging again! grin

Hi all. I set up in my new back yard last night and tried a few frames of M8. Here is the result. If I get another clear night I may try to add some color.

M8 "Lagoon" - with color added

Posted By Tyler Allred

Hi all. I added some additional luminance and color to the M8 luminance data from a few nights back, and here is the result.
It is approx 60 minutes L and 24 minutes each of RGB. It was taken with my Tak E160 on a G-11 with an ST2000XM with Astrodons.
