Marc Thank you , I'm still working to get a good workflow that'll actually satisfy . that was a late 2 night test to see if I wanted to maybe squeeze in the Flame also. It's a keeper!

Ballard , cooperation of the weather is our nemesis. We're always begging the sky Gods for clear skies and I said a prayer to the gods to let you have clear skies at least until you get your oxygen and sulfur acquired. I'm working on my pile of data , hope to learn something and not forget what I just did.

I wanted to see how much I would need to put together a decent image but, they just don't make a light weight rotator to accommodate a coma corrector. So, instead of rotating my camera and having to retake calibration frames every time I rotate the camera angle . I'll spend my time on the other targets in my fov. I really don't want to go through changing the angle , it's not that much. I'm just not ready to change everything over to my F5 Refractor

Marc , I'd be proud of that Galaxy . That is finely detailed and the blue tint is really good . I have to learn how to bring all that out , with all the data that I collect.

I did a reprocess on the Wizard Ha 180s data and kept it real , trying to make things really pop ! Didn't work , too much wasted time trying to stretch and pull it to death{sometimes I just can't help myself}especially when it's a target I've never shot on before it's hard to back off when I get in the Zone . I've started working through the color channels already. I can't wait to bring this one to life.

Yes alberio, It's an 8" astrograph newtonian with TV cc Asi1600m pro cooled camera . it's cropped around the edges.

Outside the box " different" your approach to bring the viewers eyes towards a certain area in the image. In this case m&m's instead of glasses, boots or any other object .

Candy is Dandy and the M'S draw you to the subject this is a good pose for Amanda, I follow your work and now you're thinking outside the box .

It's got depth , needs a lot of clean -up . I'm at the point where screaming is in order my starfield is navy blue but, the galaxy is starting to be the way it should've been subtle blue tint , until I blow the daylights out of it.

I'm still at it Richard, starting all over from the 32bit raw to the jpeg trying to tweak out and not blow the core out so yall can see the inner dark lanes of the galaxy, processing is my nemesis with the way my memory is. You were able to pull some more detail that was there. That's what I'm having trouble with bringing out those dark lanes and not blowing the core out. I stack multiple images in Photoshop and I just haven't learned that trick yet and of course the color balance of the starry sky. If I get back down to work on it today after messing with old brass hardware and Brasso, I'll post .

Richard , I'm sure I do have more data . I've been at this image too long and I was tired and fed up at the time , I just should have walked away again . I just worked on ic434 HH and it's showing potential.

That's not entirely true alberio , I've progressed from the early days of not knowing a whole lot and throwing all the data except for the stuff that doesn't line up into the image . Your always learning something in this awesome Hobby. Keep your eyes to the sky you may see the Webb telescope.

This is 2 nights trying to catch the nebula before it started over our house between the clouds .

Sweet ! you did a pretty good job on The HH and the Flame.

I've not processed this target before with this 1600mm pro camera , it looks overstretched , I need to learn how to bring out the dark lanes without blowing it out everywhere. Out of the 3 months on shooting on this galaxy , I only used a small portion of all the data I acquired since October.
