First attempt - long way to go

Capture:

CCDStack, PhotoShop

I'll keep trying

Very nice!

Lars,

That is a wonderful image. The arms extend a long way and the star birthing regions are really pronounced.

Processing looks very nice indeed.

Top job.

Brilliant image Lars.

Now THAT! is impressive!

Did you have some frame misalignment? you have a horizontal line through the star at the bottom of the field.

[lhansen (Lars)]

All subs were dithered (+- 3.5 pixels). The line is from the deconvolution I ran in CCDStack, I didn't clip the image

Lovely image Lars, This to me is the pick of the bunch. Youve been missing for a while but seem now, to be back with a vengence.

Great stuff, can't wait to see some longer exposures.

[Doomsayer]

Great stuff Lars! ....
Nice to see the ST8XME being put to good use.
(Meanwhile I'm sitting in the observatorry getting a big Tpoint model done)

Brilliant - let me know how it goes. I'm doing 1744 tonight - almost sounds rude

The ST8 XME seems to be the perfect combo for my RCOS - the 6303E was/is an amazing camera but it needs plenty of patience, something you have in spades (I dont )

Let me know how the model goes

Been a busy boy then this is by far the best of the bunch (which are all good) IMO

well done

[iceman (Mike)]

Nothing like a beautiful and big image of 1365.

Lovely image.

[multiweb (Marc)]

One of the best I've seen. Great colors resolved down to the core. Top shelf!

[Paul Haese]

Very nice 1365. Detail is superb as is the scale.
