LRGB pics now...my we are looking up...I am pretty damn jealous!

It's a great pic martin.

Thank you Brendan

Get one too, and don't be jealous, it is a lot more work to process than a one shot picture.

That is quite good. The QHY9 looks like it is working ok for you.

Two...I have 3! All girls.

One is uni educated going on to masters...must be worth something in a sale.

One has just started Tafe and will probably end up owning her own business..she is very world savy so her worth is in the future; and

One still at school (year 8)who is probably more intelligent than all our family members put together...loves maths & science and is damn good at them.

So which one will I make a good cash price on...they are all blondes!

And will this cover the costs of a good CCD?

Maybe, but you would have got a better price if you'd sold them earlier.

Good work Mill, tight as.

In my limited experience, globular clusters have been difficult to image.

You've done a wonderful job here.

Onya, Martin.

Beautiful capture, well done!

Always wondered why they don't collapse into a blackhole or something..

Ahhh Omega....isn't she cute?

Nah, that's a fine version of the cluster Marty, nice work.

Thank you Gary, I think that you get more for copper than for kids these days

Thanks Humayun

The imaging is fairly easy (put the times in and hit the button) it is the processing that does it

Thank you Mike

It is easier to practice on known and easy/big objects (baby steps for me Mike

).

Nice Martin, but.....looks just a tad pink to me?

(then again, I'm probably just jealous I don't have RGB going yet....

)

lacad01 (Adam) · #16 24-02-2010, 09:34 AM

That looks mighty good Martin

multiweb (Marc) · #17 25-02-2010, 09:44 AM
