First Light - M81 and M82

Posted By Tyler Allred
Hi all. I finally got my ASA N8 working and made a first light image. It has been weeks since we had a clear night. The seeing conditions were terrible, but I couldn't wait to try out the scope. I decided to start with something simple, and chose M81 and 82 as a ready target. My whole setup is new to me, except the mount, so I had lots of bugs to work out.

Image Info
Scope: ASA N8 at F/3.6
Mount: Losmandy G-11/Gemini
Camera: FLI Maxcam CM-10 with CFW 1-8
Guider: Orion Starshoot Autoguider through Borg 60
MaxIm DL5 and Photoshop CS3
10x3min L unbinned
3x5min RGB unbinned

Bubble in Ha

Posted By Tyler Allred
Hi all. Since the moon was super bright I decided to collect a little Ha data with the new setup. Seeing was pretty bad again... which is normal for winter in Utah. It was good to get a little more imaging time with the scope and camera. I like the sensitivity of the KAF3200XME chip for narrowband imaging.

Hello all. I finally got another chance to image with my new setup. I decided to try some Ha and settled on IC443, a great supernova remnant in Gemini. Here is a reduced version. The full version, along with some other recent work, is available by clicking on the link below.

Color Added to IC443 Image

Posted By Tyler Allred
Hi all. Here is a try at adding some color data to the Ha that I posted a few days ago. I added 30 minutes of RGB to the mix. Here is the result. Comments are always welcome.

IC443 HaRGB

Posted By Tyler Allred
Hi all. I decided to reprocess my recent image of IC443 using a few new techniques for holding the red data in the Ha and preventing the pink that usually shows up. Here is a link to the ":Latest Images" section of my webpage. Click on the top thumbnail to see the image. Click again for the full version.

I like it much better than my previous version. Thanks for looking.

I usually post images for the deep sky forum, but I got up early this morning and imaged comet Lulin. Here is the result. The comet is getting better every day. The dust tail is on the right and the ion tail is on the left. Take a look if you get a chance.
Cheers,
Tyler

Hi all. I made this little animation of Comet Lulin from some of the frames I took on the morning of February 3rd. These were taken between 5:03 and 6:22 AM. This comet is really moving along. The animation was included at spaceweather dot com. Here is the link.

Horsehead and Flame from Utah

Posted By Tyler Allred
Hi all. I know this has been imaged a lot, but I had a bright moon the other night and decided to image a bright object. I used the ASA N8 and my old standby ST2000XM camera. Here is a link to the full version on my website. Be sure to click the image for full resolution.
