I try and my processing skills are hopefully improving.
You've got a point but, give your processing skills credit . I kick the dirt an awful lot trying to get things right when processing , a good workflow is something that I'm working on with these new targets that I've not imaged before. It's a great ride isn't it?
Brian , your collecting some awesome data. I can't wait to see it when you finish.
Clear skies nd lower humidity helps.
Stunning data Brian , I can't wait for the unveiling of the final image.
Alanna says my attempts the stars and galaxy are coming out with too much color, too R , too G or too B adjusting those colors is a real chore not to oversaturate . I end up losing detail in the arms and mess up the background .I keep failing to get it just right Brian, I need to catch a break and get more data URRGG ! Your m101 is looking really good , stars and detail in the arms is banging .
Stunning detail , lovin it .
That looks fabulous , the detail is banging. Way to shoot Marc.
That's really cool , I wish Jupiter would hurry up and clear the trees.
Beautiful poses and the model works well IMHO , Kudos !
Brian , We're in "hurricane season" June 1 and my skies are pretty clouded and heat storms dominate most of the nights. It's like shooting through a window with condensation on it . Thanks to the clouds I've only been able to collect 20 some out of 50 subs that are useable and the guider is settling every couple of frames . Running a sequence of 50min. takes all night when I do get to do some collecting. We've already had a drought for 3 weeks before hurricane season and already have a surplus. We're into the BOIL !
Marc , it's a Meade lxd55 goto that's a 3rd owner with the screw holes worn out that hold the RA and the Dec saddle . I used JB Weld and even Loctite but, it's a lot of weight and it takes stress pretty well but , when I'm running up around {Zenith} before and after the meridian flip guiding isn't so good.
I love it Brian , the detail and colors are awesome . I wish I could catch a break with the weather on my adventure. Kudos keep it coming
Thank you Stan , I'm trying to collect enough on this target before it's gone , I collected the Lum 23subs@60s guided on May 30th shooting through the clouds. Then collected the rgb on the 15th of June in the boiling {heat and humidity}, I need to catch a break to be able to make a better image. It's a work in progress Stan and I haven't used any calibrations .
