NGC 7023 - The Iris Nebula

Posted By Tyler Allred

Hi all. Here is an image I took on Friday night. It is NGC 7023, the Iris Nebula. Processing the dust areas was pretty difficult, but I think it turned out OK. I would like to get a chance to add more data soon, but this will have to do for now.
Cheers,
Tyler

*** M33 - The Pinwheel Galaxy - from Utah ***

Posted By Tyler Allred

Hi all. Here is another image taken with my portable setup from my back yard in Tremonton, Utah. M33 is a favorite target for me. I love the color changes from the central area to the outer arms, and I like the spiral form. I hope you like this version. Comments/suggestions are always welcome.
Cheers,
Tyler

NGC7822

Posted By Tyler Allred

Hi all. I spent some time doing Ha imaging last night. I decided to try a new object for me.... NGC7822. This image is 4 hours of Ha data, taken with my Epsilon 160 on a G-11 with an ST2000XM camera. Comments are always welcome.

A Couple of Heron Pics

Posted By Tyler Allred

Hi all. I managed a couple of photos of a blue heron this week that turned out pretty nice. These images are cropped and reduced only. No saturation was applied. It was really that green!

NGC7822 - Now with COLOR added

Posted By Tyler Allred

Hi all. I managed to run the camera all night last night and got some decent data. I collected color data to go with the Ha that I collected a few nights back. The image stacked up pretty well. Here is the result.

Something a Little Different

Posted By Tyler Allred

Hi all. Here is a wide view of a section of the moon, taken with a Canon 12Mp digital through the eyepiece (41mm Panoptic) of my Tak CN-212. I thought I might share it as I don't see too many images like this on the forum.

Comet Holmes LRGB from Utah

Posted By Tyler Allred

Hi all. I decided to image Holmes again last night. Here is the result. The color data clearly shows some sign of a tail but it doesn't look as well defined as I have seen in other images. Overall, I am pleased with the result. This image has been reduced to 50% of original.

I would like to try some long exposures to capture the tail better.

Cheers,
Tyler
