I agree Frank the challenge was always good value to compare images and techniques.

I learnt a lot from them

Just needs someone active to kick it off.

whats that

Jen,
A while back we used to have a "monthly challenge" where someone would say "lets image nebula X" and everybody would have a go and show off their results.
It was good fun to see the different results from different equipment and processing

Hi Jen, it was a challenge amongst the imagers that was running a while back.

Essentially someone would pick a DSO to image and we would all post our images on the thread. It wasn't a competition as such but it was a great way to learn new techniques, exposure times etc.

At the end of the month the person who started the thread would nominate one of the imagers to select a new DSO to image for the next month.

Cheers

Whoops Frank beat me to the reply LOL

Sounds like a great idea. I'd love for a monthly challenge to start again. Would be a great way to share and improve your imaging techniques with others.

Should get it organised.

Ric · #12 21-02-2009, 07:28 AM

Unless someone else has something planned already I'd be happy to get the ball rolling next month.

Cheers
